About

Citrine is a rare form of quartz - the same mineral from which amethyst originates. There are few references to citrine before the Hellenistic period of Greek history, when someone might wear the sunny yellow gemstone to protect against snake bites and evil thoughts.

Citrine became quite popular in the 1930s and the Art Deco period, when it was the only known yellow gemstone. Perhaps this is when citrine became known as the gem that would lift the spirits and foster a sunny disposition. In any case, the warm, friendly yellow of citrine will surely sparkle amicably through the generations.
