 How to spot Fake Citrine?

Citrine is often faked by using colored glass. Luckily for us, Glass Citrine is a very poor representation of the original as Citrine is a very clear gemstone. If you see even a single bubble inside the gemstone, it's glass. Real Citrine will not have any bubbles at all. Another way of telling if Citrine is real is to take a look at the color of the gemstone. Citrine stones tend to have an even color scheme across them and won’t have any drastic shifts in shade throughout. A great way to tell if a Citrine is real is to look at the stone in the light. If you find any visible inclusions or air bubbles, the Citrine is not authentic.
