A citrine is basically a type of quartz, an abundant earth mineral. Pure quartz is a colourless crystal, although coloured variants are quite common and are often treated as gemstones suitable for jewellery. Of these, quartz ranging in colour from yellow to brown is called citrine, and appears similar to yellow topaz. Citrine gets its warm hue from the presence of iron in it. The word citrine may be traced back to French, in which the word “citron” stands for lemon. The gemstone gets its name from its warm, citrus yellow hue. Citrines are rare in the natural world, and most of the world’s citrine now comes from Brazil. Like all quartz, several therapeutic and mystical properties are associated with citrines. They are believed to dispel negative energy, and reverse depression and lethargy, and are also said to promote optimism, positivity and accumulation of wealth. Merchants often have a tradition of keeping a citrine in their cash registers for good luck. Because of this, citrines are often called the “merchant’s stone”. Citrine is the traditional birthstone of November. All of this month, CaratLane will be featuring an exclusive collection of rings, earrings and pendants featuring citrines set along side diamonds in stunning patterns.
