Citrine

Citrine is a variety of quartz that ranges in color from pale yellow to deep golden orange, with the latter being the most prized. The name "citrine" is derived from the French word "citron," meaning lemon, due to its lemon-yellow hue. Most citrine on the market is actually heat-treated amethyst, which causes the purple color to transform into yellow or orange. Citrine is often associated with joy, abundance, and success. It is believed to promote self-confidence and attract good fortune. With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, citrine is relatively durable and suitable for use in various types of jewelry.
