Citrine is a quartz and there are many different varieties of quartz, several of which are classified as gemstones. Since antiquity, varieties of quartz have been the most commonly used minerals in the making of jewelry and hardstone carvings.

Quartz is the mineral defining the value of 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, a qualitative scratch method for determining the hardness of a material to abrasion.
Ranging in color from deep shade of golden yellow, brownish yellow or orange this semi-precious gemstone is the birthstone associated with the month of November.

Its pale yellow color gives this crystal its name, Citrine, coming from the French citron, meaning lemon. But apart from its literal meaning, it also has a deep spiritual meaning.

The spiritual meaning of Citrine is its yellow hues symbolizing the spiritual qualities of joy, abundance, and transmutation.
