Citrine is a yellow transparent quartz.
Natural citrine is rare and is usually pale yellow with a weak pleochroism. Natural citrine can range in color from yellow-green to orange and brown-orange. Clear amber stones are particularly prized. Citrine forms part of the unique gemstone ametrine, which is found in Bolivia.
The most beautiful natural citrine crystals are found in Brazil. Citrine is also mined in Argentina, Burma, other Brazilian states, France, Madagascar, Russia (Urals), Spain, and the USA.
In ancient times, citrine was considered a talisman that protects against poison and evil thoughts. Citrine is used in healing to give inner strength to sensitive people, to solve metabolic problems. Citrine is also one of the two birthstones for November.
