Citrine: The Success Stone
Citrine is a quartz stone that ranges in color from pale to golden yellow, and sometimes contains sparkle inclusions. The name comes from the French word citron, meaning lemon. As far back as 300 B.C in Greece, it was used as a gem.
Citrine is so well known as a success and prosperity stone that it is called the "Success Stone." It is said to promote success and abundance in all areas. In addition to manifesting abundance, citrine is also believed to bestow energies of generosity. This means the wearer’s success can be shared with others.
Citrine also has another nickname, the "Merchant's Stone”, because it is commonly used to promote success in business. The yellow stone is often carried, worn, or used in the cash box of a store. People use citrine not only to help manifest the acquisition of wealth, but also to help maintain it.
