Citrine is a beautiful gemstone that has become quite popular over the last few decades.
The name of citrine is derived from its color - the yellow of the lemon - although the most sought-after stones have a clear, radiant yellowish to brownish red.
Citrine has a beautiful yellow color which can vary from a light or pale yellow, to a yellowish orange to having other colors present such as a red or brown tinge.
Citrine is a member of the large quartz family, a family which, with its multitude of colors and very various structures, offers gemstone lovers almost everything their hearts desire in terms of adornment and decoration, from absolutely clear rock crystal to black onyx. And it does so at prices which are by no means unaffordable.
While it is made from quartz (the most common type of mineral), it is quite rare in its natural form. It should be noted that china citrine is associated with Amethyst. It is in fact the substance, except it has a different oxidation state of the iron present.
This means that you can easily heat up amethyst to create fashion citrine. Since Amethyst is found more readily than Citrine, the commercial Citrine you purchase is usually Amethyst that has been specially treated.
Citrine can be found on many ornamental jewelry pieces including rings, earrings, charms, bracelet, etc. It can be cut easily and has a vitreous luster. It should also be noted that it is transparent or translucent giving it a nice glassy quality. Citrine is one of the more affordable gemstones and can come in many sizes.
Citrine is a wonderful gemstone and has been known to man for thousands of years. It was first used by the Ancient Greeks and Romans for jewelry such as intaglios. It was also popular during the Middle Ages and was said to have medicinal and mystical qualities. For instance, Citrine was used to stimulate one’s intellect and bolster creativity. It was also said to be helpful in acquiring wealth and self confidence.
It has been considered as the manifesting stone. It is believed that citrine necklace can help to manifest one’s goals and also keeps one cheerful. It attracts abundance and personal power.
It stimulates the body's own healing energies. It is good for helping to elevate self-esteem and is good for centering. It can help one's memory and aid in problem solving. Citrine jewelry gives one confidence and self-discipline.
