Best Answer

'Citrine' is the brand (?) name for yellow; diamond is the mineral.

Your local jeweler can verify that this gem is a diamond.

If you are buying a citrine diamond, ask for documentation as to its authenticity, including the source of its colour: natural or enhanced. (Yellow diamonds, regardless of the name of the yellow colour, that are enhanced, are less valuable than naturally coloured diamonds.)

As a note, citrine is also the name for the yellow variety of quartz, which is far less valuable than diamond.
