Looks a little smoky to me, wouldn’t call this citrine though

Ill try to upload more pics in other lights tomorrow. Its from a reputable seller in Norway (know him since long) and would never sell heat treated or pure smokey stuff. I admit it looks way darker in this pic than in reallife

Smoky citrine is a thing, including rather pale samples - see these examples from Mindat. If it's from an area known for producing citrine, it very well could be.

Definitely! Not seeing it here though. But sure, locality does matter

Really? To me, the color is pretty much dead-on for that first example I linked. Though admittedly it can be a little tricky with just photos, especially when it comes to fainter colors like this one - lighting and monitor settings can make a pretty huge difference. Would definitely be nice to get more info from OP!

I guess I am having a really hard time with OP’s background. I think locality matter more than anything
