Citrine, with its warm golden hues, is a variety of quartz known for its radiant beauty and positive energy. The name "citrine" is derived from the French word "citron," meaning lemon, reflecting its sunny color reminiscent of citrus fruits. Interestingly, ancient cultures associated citrine with prosperity and abundance, believing it could attract wealth and success. Natural citrine is relatively rare, and most citrine available in the market today is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz. In antiquity, citrine was often used in talismans and jewelry by civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans to promote vitality and ward off negative energy. Citrine is also thought to carry the energy of the sun, symbolizing warmth, joy, and vitality, making it a popular choice for jewelry and spiritual practices.
