Citrine
Birthstone: November
Anniversary: 13th
A sunny yellow variety of quartz, citrine gets its name from the French "citron" meaning "lemon"—perfectly capturing its cheerful, golden hues. Found primarily in Bolivia, Spain, Madagascar, Mexico, Brazil, and Uruguay, this gem was historically known as the "merchant's stone" or "money stone," carried by traders who believed it would bring prosperity to their business ventures.
Medieval merchants weren't wrong about citrine's positive energy—its warm, golden color naturally evokes feelings of abundance, joy, and success. Perfect for pieces that celebrate optimism and personal achievement, citrine brings sunshine to any jewelry collection with its bright, uplifting presence and accessible beauty.
