Citrine
Abundance, confidence
What is Citrine?
Citrine is the golden-yellow to honey-brown variety of quartz — natural citrine is uncommon, and its warm color has linked it to sunlight and harvest since antiquity. It is the November birthstone.
Meaning & symbolism
Citrine is worn as the merchant's stone: abundance, confidence, and sunny optimism. It is a favorite for career milestones, new ventures, and anyone who wants a wearable reminder to stay bright.
How to wear & pair it
Pair citrine with tiger's eye, pyrite, and green aventurine for a classic prosperity stack, or with clear quartz to lighten the palette. 8mm suits daily wear.
Care
Like other quartz it can fade in prolonged sun. Clean with a soft damp cloth and keep away from prolonged heat.
