Citrine, although often mistakenly referred to as topaz, belongs to the quartz family. The yellow color of this gemstone is due to the presence of iron in the trigonal crystal structure. Named for its bright citrus color, citrine can present a range of yellow hues, from pale yellow to deep brownish gold. Though gemstone-quality citrine is rare, Rio Grande offers the highest quality available. According to folklore, citrine conveys the power of the sun.

Round-cut gemstones are highly popular and the most commonly available. Rio round gemstones are calibrated for size and hand-inspected to ensure maximum attractiveness.
