The story: Citrine, with its luminous shades ranging from golden yellow to deep honey, has long been associated with the warmth of the sun and abundance. Its name comes from the Latin word “citrus”, in reference to its bright color reminiscent of lemon. Considered a stone of prosperity in many traditions, it was often worn as a talisman attracting success, joy, and positive energy. Over the centuries, citrine has become the birthstone of the month of November, a symbol of vitality and generosity. In ancient beliefs, it was reputed to promote mental clarity and boost self-confidence, helping to turn thoughts into concrete actions.
