Citrine stone is a member of the quartz group stones in yellow tones. What gives this color to the stone is the iron in its content. This stone got its name from the Greek word citron meaning lemon and is also known as lemon quartz. Citrine, which usually contains frozen water, becomes plaster when broken. Citrine is a translucent, fairly hard and strong stone. Its hardness makes it very difficult to process the stone.
Citrine is also known as the Merchant's Stone and is believed to bring abundance to its bearer. In line with this belief, it is a common tradition among the people to keep it in safes. It is also known that citrine was carried as a preservative in order not to be poisoned in snake bites in ancient times. Another area where citrine has been used in the past is its use in rain prayers together with amethyst.
