Citrine is a yellow to golden-brown variety of quartz (SiO₂) valued for its warm, sunny coloration and natural clarity. It forms in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Citrine is found in Brazil, Madagascar, Russia, Spain, the United States (Colorado and North Carolina), and Zambia, with Brazil producing much of the natural gem-quality material. Its hardness and vibrant color make it popular in jewelry and decorative carvings.
 
Historically, Citrine has been appreciated for thousands of years. Ancient Greeks and Romans used it in jewelry and intaglios, while in Scotland, it became associated with decorative Scottish agate inlays during the 19th century. Citrine has long been considered a stone of prosperity and abundance, and it was often used as a talisman to attract wealth, success, and personal power. Its golden hues also led many cultures to associate it with the sun and energy.
 
In metaphysical and spiritual traditions, citrine is believed to promote positivity, confidence, and personal growth. It is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, supporting motivation, willpower, and manifestation of goals. Many practitioners use citrine to enhance creativity, release negative energy, and encourage abundance and prosperity. While these metaphysical properties are symbolic rather than scientifically verified, citrine remains highly regarded for both its aesthetic appeal and its energetic symbolism.
