Meaning
What citrine is said to do
Where the name comes from
From the French citron, "lemon", for its sunny colour. It has long been called the merchant’s stone: shopkeepers kept a piece in the till in the hope of a good day’s trade.
That warmth has stayed with it, and today it’s the stone people reach for when they want a little more positivity and plenty.
Crystal meanings describe tradition and belief, not medical advice.
