“Citrine” the stone for the month of November. Citrine is a variety of quartz and the name is derived from the Citron Fruit colour - the yellow of the lemon and the most sought-after stones have a clear, radiant yellowish to golden orange. Although often cut as a gemstone, citrine is actually somewhat rare in nature. The citrine is a member of the large quartz family, a family which, with its multitude of colours and very various structures, offers gemstone lovers almost everything their hearts desire in terms of adornment and decoration. The colour in which the Citrine is most commonly found is yellow which is attributed with a cooling, styptic and appetizing effect. In the Empire style, the topaz was still widespread, but then the more reasonably priced citrine took over from it and even usurped its name. Since then, the Citrine has been a familiar figure in the jewellery trade.
Citrine has been called the "stone of the mind". Ancient cultures believed that placing a citrine on the forehead of an elder would increase his psychic power. This stone is also being used to increase self esteem, protect from the negative energy from someone else's abuse, open the mind to new thoughts and promote clarity of thoughts. Citrine is sometimes used by healers to help with digestion as it is considered beneficial to the endocrine and digestive system - cleansing, purifying and eliminating poisons that have built up. Citrine is an excellent stone to calm and soothe distressed conditions. The source of Citrine includes Brazil, Bolivia, several African countries and parts of the Soviet Union out of which Brazil is the leading producer of citrine, with much of its production coming from the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
