Citrine Crystal – Natural Stone

Citrine Crystal — golden yellow quartz

Citrine is a variety of quartz whose golden tones come from traces of iron in its structure. Its name comes from the French citron, lemon. Each piece is natural and unique in color, size and shape.

Look and feel

Citrine glows in warm, sunny shades of golden yellow, one of the most cheerful colors in the mineral world. At 7 on the Mohs scale it is durable and well suited to jewelry and daily handling. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as strong heat may fade its color over time.

In tradition

Citrine has been prized for thousands of years as a symbol of happiness and warmth. The Romans set it in jewelry and linked it with the sun, Chinese merchants kept it in their shops, and it was often given to mark a new venture — which is why it is sometimes called the merchant’s stone. In crystal lore it is traditionally associated with the solar plexus chakra (Manipura), with confidence, motivation and optimism. In astrological tradition it is linked with Leo, Aries and Gemini.
