Citrine.
not really. but your perception of valuable may differ from mine. it is not a precious stone if that's what you are asking
Amethyst, rose, citrine, smoky, etc., are all examples of quartz. Few minerals come in such an amazing array of colors and crystal habits!
Quartz has many different habits, but only one crystal system category, trigonal, and one formula, SiO2. The various forms of quartz are a product of their method of formation or exposure to radiation or impurities. Some forms are agate, chalcedony, jasper, amethyst, chert, rose, citrine, smoky, milky, moss, flint, Cat's Eye, Tiger Eye, prase, carnelian, rock crystal, and aventurine.

Citrine is a yellow form of quartz (SiO2).
Citrine is made up of a variety colors of quartz and topaz.
Chemically, the symbol is SiO2, the same as quartz, of which citrine is a variety.
Citrines belong in the quartz family. Citrine is the name for quartz that is yellow, greenish-yellow, brownish-yellow or orange. The name is derived from "citron" which is the name of a yellow fruit.
Yes, it changes to citrine, another type of quartz. (Citrine is yellow)
Citrine is a variety of Quartz whose color ranges from pale yellow to brown. Citrine is rarely found naturally. Most commercial Citrine is artificially heated smoky quartz or Amethyst. To answer the question ...Natural Citrine is rare,Man made it is very common.
Citrine.
The melting point of citrine is 1650 +/- 75 Celsius. Citrine is from the quartz family and occurs naturally in nature.
'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.
According to geologists, quartz is associated with other minerals and specimens which contain the same properties such as amethyst, citrine, rock crystal, rose quartz and smoky quartz.
== == Citrine crystals can form together with amethyst to form ametrine and bi-colored quartz. found this on the following site: http://www.rosiejiggs.co.uk/gemstones.htm Citrine, a form of quartz crystal, may have derived its brownish-orange tint from irradiation. Amethyst quartz crystals can also be turned to a citrine color by heating them.
