Citrine has always been related to the brightness of the sun. Being a variety of quartz whose color varies from a pale yellow to a deep gold, often with sparkles that evoke fire and its strength.
Its name derives from the French term "citron", which means lemon, in reference to its warm and bright hue.
In ancient Greece and Rome, this stone was believed to have the power to grant mental clarity and protect against toxicity. The ancient Egyptians used it as a talisman for protection against poisonous snakes. In Chinese tradition, it was associated with wealth and prosperity.
It is said to radiate joy, optimism and mental clarity, dispelling negativity and attracting abundance. It is therefore a stone of wisdom and purity. Its vibration is believed to stimulate the Solar Plexus chakra, strengthening self-confidence and promoting a sense of personal empowerment. If you have decisions to make, this is your stone.
