Citrine

What is Citrine?

Citrine is the golden-yellow to amber variety of quartz, a warm and cheerful gemstone. It is a birthstone for November.

Citrine Benefits & Meaning

Citrine is known as the "merchant's stone" and is associated with prosperity, positivity and success. Its sunny colour makes it a favourite for everyday jewellery.

How to Identify an Original Citrine

Natural citrine shows a warm golden-yellow colour, good transparency and a glassy lustre. Because imitations are common in the market, buy from a trusted seller — every stone at GemStore.pk is hand-inspected and, where applicable, lab-verifiable.

Buying from GemStore.pk

How we verify every stone

Before a listing goes live the piece is weighed on a calibrated carat scale, examined under magnification for treatment and filling, photographed in daylight and described exactly as it is. Anything we cannot verify as natural is simply not sold. You are welcome to have any purchase independently tested — that is what lab-verifiable means.

Delivery, payment and returns

Orders are packed in a padded box and sent by tracked courier to every city in Pakistan, usually within 1–3 working days for major cities and 3–5 elsewhere. Pay the rider on delivery after checking the parcel. If the item arrives damaged or is not as described, tell us within 7 days for a replacement or a full refund — see the Return Policy.
