Citrine – Know My Story!

 

A stone often called as The Light Maker is derived from a French word for lemon “Citron” which carries the sense of optimistic joie de vivre(joy of living) and sense of sunny vibes.

The Gemstone is naturally found all over the world, including Brazil, Madagascar, Spain, Africa, Russia, the US, Scotland, and France.

You are a Citrine Gemstone when you are 300BC old as you have been one of the desirable stone among Greeks and Romans to be used in decorative jewelry.  A crystal so rare was carved into Cabochon rings and intaglio work in First Century AD.

Later, Queen Victoria made it lay by wearing it as jewelry. With this fascinating pace, Scottish men used it as a Gemstone to adorn their swords and stilettos. Its praising didn’t end here as in World War II, and III large crystals were set as prized pieces.

Heard about Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford? Yes, those famous Hollywood stars for whom influential Citrine jewelry was conceived.

Over the vast period of modernization and growing popularity of Citrine nowadays, it is not one of the most expensive and rare stone though the origin of this stone was profound to be one of the most desirable stones in the history and now it has little to do with rareness.
