Citrine is a quartz and obtains its color from traces of iron. Colors range from lemon yellow to golden brown and can be transparent. Citrine can be artificially created by heating amethyst or smoky quartz, though truly the results of this process should be called gold topaz.

It’s name comes from the Latin “citrus,” which means lemon. Used since ancient times, Caesar’s soldiers wore citrine on their chest because it was believed to have life-saving properties in battle. Today it can be found in Brazil, the United States, Russia, Madagascar, Spain and France.

Citrine is said to have a detoxifying effect on the metabolism and to strengthen the immune system. It promotes physical activity which improves digestion. The purer and more intense the color, the greater the stone’s healing properties.
