Citrine – The Stone of Spring

The delicate crystal is associated with the first rays of spring sunshine. It is also the stone of willpower, imagination, and personal growth.

Its name comes from the French word "citron," which means lemon.

Citrine has been known as a quartz variety since 300 BCE. Since then, legends have persisted that the crystal can make men more attractive and intelligent. It was believed that if a woman had difficulty conceiving, citrine would help her become pregnant.

This semi-precious stone was associated with several deities in ancient times. Its color was linked to Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, who ends winter and fills the fields with fertility and abundant crops. Citrine is also the precious stone of the Greek goddess of spring, Persephone.

All crystals with a golden hue were considered symbols of the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet, who embodied war.

Varieties

Citrine is a transparent variety of quartz, ranging from pale yellow to golden or coppery brown. Unlike many other semi-precious stones, its natural color does not absorb or retain negative energy. An intriguing fact is that citrine is the only stone that doesn’t need cleansing or recharging.

Many mistake it for yellow topaz because of the color. Much of the citrine on the market is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz. What distinguishes genuine citrine is its pale yellow color.
