Geology of Lemon Quartz: Lemon quartz is a yellow to golden variety of quartz, a mineral made of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). It forms in geological environments such as volcanic rocks, hydrothermal veins, and pegmatites. While natural lemon quartz is rare, most commercially available lemon quartz is heat-treated. This treatment involves heating amethyst (purple quartz) or smoky quartz (brown quartz) at temperatures around 400–500°C (752–932°F). The heat alters the iron content in the crystal’s structure, transforming the color from purple or brown to yellow, mimicking the natural process that forms citrine. Quartz itself is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth, and its various colors are often the result of trace elements and impurities, such as iron. The yellow color in lemon quartz is specifically due to iron undergoing a chemical change when ex
