How is citrine quartz formed?
I need the specifics and references, please. How is it formed? How long does it take? Where is found and in what shape? Is its growth affected by temperature? Light? Does it grow on walls? Cave floors?
Please help!
This did not help. I need more specific details. The two links are vague or concerned with selling quartz.
Anyone else?
The two links below will give you all your info for location (Brazil), crystal shape (typical quartz crystal shapes, trigonal prisms), temperature (melting point 1670C to 1713C), rock formations, natural and artificial formation. Light does not play a part in its formation. As for how long, unless it is being artificially made, it takes a very long time because the crystals have to grow and cool from the molten state.

Citrine vs. Yellow Topaz
When citrine is cut and set into a piece of jewelry, it is almost impossible to distinguish it from the more expensive gemstone, yellow topaz. As such, it has garnered a number of fallacious alternative names, such as gold topaz and Spanish topaz. The fact is, other than its yellow tinge, the quartz crystal variety has very little in common with the high grade mineral crystal.
Depending on the impurities tinting the gemstone, topaz can occur in a number of different colors. While yellow topaz is quite common, it can also be made pale green, blue, and pink. The clarity of the gemstone can range from transparent to opaque. Clear topaz can also be found but is very rare. What we see out on the market is usually artificially made.
The same goes for citrine. There are very few quartz crystals found in nature with embedded ferric impurities, giving it a distinctive yellow to orange-brown tinge. Most commercial variants of the gemstone are usually heated amethyst or smoky quartz.
Both yellow gemstones share the distinction as the birthstone for the month of November. They also share the same mystical properties, such as the power to heal and ward off negative thoughts and energy. The particularly bright yellow form of quartz crystal has come to symbolize the values of friendship and fidelity and is associated with optimism, hope, and strength.
To this day citrine is held as one of the more popular gemstones. Relatively less expensive than yellow topaz and available in a wider range of yellow hues, the crystal is favored by many November birthday celebrants.
