Stone for the month of
November, the citrine is a member of the large quartz family. However due to
its cost it remains affordable. The yellow stones have just that mellow, warm tone that seems to have captured the last glow of autumn.
Citrine derived its name from its colour - the yellow of the lemon - although the most sought-after stones have a clear, radiant yellowish to brownish red shades.
Originally citrine was found in Spain, on the Scottish island of Arran, in France, Hungary and in several mines overseas.
There are not many yellow gemstones in the world of jewels. A diamond or a sapphire may be yellow but those are expensive. In that case citrine is obvious choice for one who is looking for yellow to reddish brown colored stones. |

Many people have come to know
this stone under the name- gold topaz, or Madeira or Spanish topaz,
though it has very little in common with the higher-quality gemstone
topaz - except the colours. The colour in which the topaz is most
commonly found is yellow, and that is the colour in which it occurs
in one of the major gemstone rocks. Like all crystal quartzes, the
citrine has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale and is thus, to a
large extent, insensitive to scratches. It,s cleavage properties are non-existent. |

The history of the citrine coincides with topaz completely when it comes to the interpretation
of alleged miraculous powers. In mysticism, the topaz is attributed with a cooling, styptic
and appetizing effect.
It is said to dispel sadness, anger and nocturnal fears, to warn its wearer of poisons and
protect him or her from sudden death. It is reputed to make men handsome and intelligent
and sterile women fertile and happy.
However, it is probably better not to rely too much on its magical powers.
The main
difference between the real topaz and the citrine is fluorine
aluminium silicate in chemical
terms, the topaz is considerably harder and heavier than quartz (citrine is a Quartz).
To be
able to find larger Crystals one has to take stones from Siberia or Brazil.
