Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that most citrine sold commercially is heat-treated amethyst, because natural citrine is rare?

Yes. One reference source states that natural citrine is rare and that most commercially available citrine is produced by heating amethyst or smoky quartz, which directly supports the claim. A second source notes that much jewelry citrine is described as burnt amethyst, supporting the heat-treatment half more weakly.
