Meaning & origin

The yellow to reddish orange variety of quartz, citrine has enjoyed a surge in popularity with a renewed interest in "earth tone" jewelry. However, most citrine on the market today doesn't come out of the ground with these colors. Brown smoky quartz and amethyst (purple quartz) are usually heat treated to create citrines.

Wearing citrine jewelry is said to promote emotional well-being and increase positive energy. Some believe it can help with hearing difficulties, digestive ailments, sleep problems, and pain and inflammation management.

Wear citrine in its natural form if at all possible to enhance its positive benefits.

Meanings are cultural tradition, not scientifically proven.

Why this color

Topaz occurs in many colours from trace impurities; citrine, a quartz, is yellow from iron.
