About Citrine
Citrine (pronounced 'sit-REEN'), a transparent variety of quartz (SiO₂), ranges in color from pale golden to deep cognac—deriving its hue from iron impurities and natural radiation exposure. Unlike many gemstones, citrine is relatively abundant and affordable, making it accessible for fine jewelry while retaining investment-grade appeal for premium specimens. The vast majority of commercial citrines are heat-treated amethysts (purple quartz), but natural citrines command 30-50% price premiums. Citrine's Mohs hardness of 7 makes it suitable for all jewelry types, though its moderate durability compared to sapphire/diamond requires careful setting in protective mounts. Historically, citrine was confused with topaz (hence the nickname 'Madeira Topaz' for dark specimens); modern gemological certification distinguishes true citrine by refractive index and specific gravity testing.
India is a global center for citrine processing and cutting—importing rough amethyst and citrine from Brazil, Madagascar, and Bolivia, then cutting and polishing to exacting gemological standards. Indian lapidaries dominate the mid-market citrine trade (under USD 5/carat), while European and American cutters focus on premium specimens (over USD 10/carat).
Compliance & Quality Standards for USA
The United States is India's largest agricultural export destination, importing over $8 billion in agri-commodities annually. All food shipments must comply with U.S. FDA food safety standards under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), including Prior Notice submission to the FDA before cargo arrives at a U.S. port. IndianXporter manages all FSMA paperwork including Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP), Foreign Supplier Verification, and FDA Facility Registration for each exporting unit. USDA-regulated products such as plant material and certain grains require USDA-APHIS phytosanitary clearance. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) mandates a valid Importer Security Filing (ISF/10+2) at least 24 hours before loading. We also support HS code classification, customs bond arrangements, and anti-dumping duty (ADD) disclosures where applicable. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of citrine exceeds the quality expectations of USA importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.
