The story: Associated with the sun, citrine conveys joie de vivre and abundance. Indeed, the great civilizations of the Mediterranean began to use it as a decorative stone as early as 300 BC and thought that it carried within it the powers of the sun. In the seventeenth century, citrine seduced the crowned heads of Europe and Queen Victoria popularized this stone by wearing it on precious royal jewels, including its tiaras.
