EXCEPT YOUR CITRINE IS JUST HEAT TREATED AMETHYST. THERE IS IN FACT A REAL STONE CALLED CITRINE. And yeah the problem is the fucking crystal sales market is trying to sell with the biggest words to the dumbest fucking customers, but I'm so tired. HTA Citrine isn't even generated, it's amethyst that's turned into a shittier version of itself, and the education to what crystals are is abysmal. No shade on the other stones mentioned here but I'm honestly so fucking done with people defending heat treated amethysts as though they have the same chemical properties of actual real ass greenish yellow 'never forms in hexagonal pillars' citrine.

Imagine calling your aged bananas apricots and selling them as if they're the same thing. THAT'S the issue with HTA.

Man made crystals are so cool it’s so sad everyone who likes rocks is out for blood if you post man made crystals. I love you opalite I love you lab created opal I love you bismuth I love you HTA citrine I love you goldstone

#hta IS a real crystal that fucking grows but damn fuck man imagine taking some real ass non lab grown amethyst purple as can be #and going 'you know what? this would be better if it were Shit Colour'.#like false advertisement in the crystal industry is rampant but gods if I see somebody selling Shitty Amethyst and calling it Citrine #I will fucking fight you I've been learning about the chemical properties of gems and stones since I was SEVEN YEARS OLD #the false advertisement of citrine has literally changed how people even work with it #like twenty years ago brown citrine was effectively worthless. Y'all are out here spending money on the bad cut of rock.#none of the 'properties' for HTA citrine existed until they had to find a way to sell it I promise that it's just overcooked quartz.#genuinely I think crystal sellers that sell HTA as 'citrine' should fucking lose their licenses because it shows a lack of knowledge.#personally I think they should get their fucking faces beaten in because I hate those capitalist motherfuckers but you know #Laws.
