Light yellow quartz is a variety of quartz, commonly known as Citrine when it has a pale yellow to golden hue, or as Lemon Quartz when it displays a bright, transparent yellow. Most light yellow quartz on the market is heat-treated amethyst, as natural citrine is rare. It is popular for jewelry, boasting a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Types and Characteristics
- Citrine: Ranges from pale yellow to golden-brown, with natural, unheated crystals being relatively rare.

- Yellow "Jade" Quartz: A pale to intense golden-yellow quartz with a milky translucency and waxy sheen.
- Yellow Iron Quartz: Features milky, semi-translucent, or opaque yellow tones caused by iron inclusions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Properties and Uses
