Know anything about 'peach citrine'?

I recently purchased a crystal from a new age store, it was sold as peach citrine. The guy that sold it to me said that it was a new stone and he didn%26#039;t really know much about it. I have looked all over the internet and in all kinds of books trying to find anything about it to no avail. It%26#039;s a beautiful crystal...it looks like a normal citrine cluster but has some kind of milky coating that makes the citrine appear %26#039;peach%26#039; in color. I%26#039;ve rubbed at the milky coating to see if it%26#039;s in fact permanet and it appears to be. If anyone knows anything at all about this stone I would really like to hear it.

Know anything about %26#039;peach citrine%26#039;?
Citrine gets its color from traces of iron and its name from its citrus color, though it is also found in medium yellow and golden to reddish brown. Most citrine is heat treated to enhance the color, and as quartz, it ranks a 7 on the Mohs%26#039; hardness scale, making it a great choice for durable jewelry. Citrine is found mostly in Brazil, but it is also mined in Madagascar, Uruguay, Bolivia, Mexico, and Spain. Citrine sometimes serves as an alternative to topaz for the November birthstone.





I research a lot on Gems and never heard of a peach citrine I would get that appraised, just to make sure.
