Most Total Time Spent in Space. Soviet cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev holds this record, with a little more than 803 days accrued over six spaceflights. That's more than two years and two months spent zipping around the Earth.
Natural citrines are rare. Most commercial citrine is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz. Because the color is now caused by finely distributed iron minerals (mostly hematite and goethite), heated amethyst is not a citrine in the strict sense.Quartz colored by inclusions of any kind is not called a citrine.atural citrines are rare.

The normal color range for citrine is more limited than most gemstones. Seen in various shades of yellow to reddish orange, citrine owes its lively color to the presence of iron. The iron is in a special state and is the same element that gives amethyst its color.
