Citrine is a yellow variety of quartz. Most citrines are mined in Brazil today, but it has been cherished as a valuable gemstone since the ancient Greeks first made use of it in jewelry. Some varieties today have a deeper amber-brown tone, and may be marketed as "madeira citrine", alongside the classical golden honey tone. Citrine is a popular November birthstone because it is very similar in appearance to yellow topaz.
