Citrine is a yellow type of quartz. It also goes by the name 'Light Maker', Citrine can be found in yellow, yellowish-brown or smoky grey-brown color. It has been popular for millennia and has been used for its rarity. Ancient Romans used to wear it as part of beautiful jewelry. Later during the Art Deco period between World War I & II, citrine was set in prized pieces of jewelry, which inspired jewelry makers to make similar pieces for Hollywood stars like, Joan Crawford & Greta Garbo. These days, it is not that rare.
Citrine is a French word which means lemon, because of its color. Citrine is found in a number of places such as Brazil, Spain, France, Russia, US, and a few other countries.
Citrine is said to be the vitamin C of the soul because it resonates with joy and positivity. It gives you a feeling of a sunny day making you feel optimistic about life.

As mentioned, Citrine gained popularity in the 19th century when Queen Victoria used to wear it as part of her jewelry collection, later it was worn by some Scottish people to decorate the handles of swords and daggers.
Citrine crystal is a translucent quartz which is composed of silicon. Its energy easily resonates with the one who wears it is because components of silicon can be also be found in the human body. It has a unique trigonal shape; the yellow color is because of the presence of iron.
