Named from the French word from lemon, "citron" since citrine has a juicy lemon color. In ancient times,
citrine was carried as a protection against snake venon and evil thoughts.

Sunny and affordable, citrine can brighten almost any jewelry style, blending especially well with the yellow gleam
of polished gold. It is the most affordable of all the earth-toned gemstones and is the alternate birthstone for
November. Brazil and Zambia is the primary source of this gemstone.

Brownish varieties are monnonly heated and magically turn into the bright yellow or orange colors known as citrine.
This enhancement method is permanent and will last for the life of the gemstones.
