Creamy and the ease of which it will coilpot is pleasant. I’ve still got a bit for projects and the chemistry of its added beauty to other UV reactive glasses makes the others pop. I work it in a neutral flame with great results, and no issues with boiling or fuming.

Citrine’s a reliable color for the borosilicate palette, and quite a versatile one for all sorts of fun torch-working techniques!
I haven’t used too many different flame types for this color, but usually I veer towards neutral/oxidizing settings on the torch when I work this color. It’s great as an overlay, on its own, in implosions and so much more. Even thinned out, this color gives its all when it comes to UV-reactivity.
Depending on the oomph of your torch, you might find it boils some when coil-potting it on or pulling it to a fine point in the flame. Feel out how this color treats you with your tools though, as everyone’s equipment is different.
A good 395nm black light will be much more reasonable for showing off this color’s glow. A 365nm black light works alright, but is far less safe for the average showing off of UV-glass.
