The name Citrine was first introduced in 1556 and replaced the then commonly used “Yellow Quartz”, its name is derived from the Latin word meaning yellow colour. It was sometimes called “the merchant's stone” as it was believed it attract wealth and prosperity.

Citrine was first mentioned in a Legend describing Aaron, the first high priest of the temple at Jerusalem; the stone is said to be one of the 12 stones embedded in his breastplate each stone representing 1 of the 12 tribes of Israel and, later, the 12 apostles of the new covenant.

Natural Citrine has been used in Ancient Greece as a decorative stone and a prized possession for the wearer. Between 300 and 150 B.C Greeks carved iconic images of the goddess Demeter (Goddess of the Harvest) into the gemstones.

While it symbolises many different things, there are some common themes it represents such as:

It symbolises immortality because even as the tree grows old, it creates seeds that carry its essence so it lives on through new saplings.
