Nerd Alert: I'm doing a WORD document with all my crystals as i keep losing track of thier names! These three I'm having a hard time with

I know one of them is citrine (possibly more?)

When I first started collecting I wasn't great at keeping track now I'm all-in passionate about Crystals and want to know more! thanks for your help! Any tips on organizing crystals, tips on remembering names of them, and any good reference books I'm all eyes! :)

Thanks All

Hi Serenfly. I think you are right. They all look like citrine to me. I carry one around in my purse for abundance. :)

By the time you finish your Word document I bet you remember their names! Families help organise; like calcite, obsidians etc

The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall is a nice easy reference book.

Does the 1st piece contain a needles within the crystal? If it does then it's Rutilated Quartz. 2nd piece looks like heat treated Citrine (baked Amethyst) and the 3rd looks more like natural Citrine.

Thanks all!!! you're all so helpful here :) I just got into crystals this past summer and am loving them :)

Yup, citrine. The middle one I'm pretty sure is a baked amethyst (also considered a citrine). If they all came together then its most likely all three are baked amethyst citrines. I have an amethyst that looks exactly like the first stone, except purple, so no surprise if that's a baked amethyst citrine. The last one looks a lot like a natural, but it could just have started off as a very light amethyst and somehow received less heat while baking.

Nice stones :)
