Chips range from small to medium with an average size of medium.
Its name is derived from the Latin word citrina and because of its pale yellow citrus color (due to its iron content).
From the earliest of times, Citrine was called the "sun stone" and the gemstone was thought capable of holding sunlight and useful in the protection from snake bites.
Its color was associated with gold and it became known as the merchant's stone.
It was thought to improve communication and to attract wealth.
To the Romans, it was the stone of Mercury, the messenger god, and it was used for carving intaglios.
Citrine is the November birthstone and for the zodiac sign of Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21).
Citrine has been referred to as the "success stone," "merchant's stone" or "money stone."
Because of its yellow color, Citrine is thought of as a joyous stone with sunshiny energy to brighten up the lives of those who work with it and wear it.
Citrine can be safely cleaned with warm, soapy water.
It is generally safe to use ultrasonic cleaners except when the stone is dyed or treated by fracture filling.
Steam cleaning is not recommended, as Citrine should not be subjected to heat.
Abrupt temperature changes can cause Citrine to fracture.
Avoid prolonged exposure of Citrine to intense light, which can cause color fading.
Citrine can also be damaged by hydrofluoric acid, ammonium fluoride and alkaline solutions.
The warm yellow of citrine is perfectly complemented by gold.
A beautiful, low-key design is achieved by combining it with other yellow-to-green stones like Yellow Fluorite, Peridot and Moss or Green Agate.
For a regal, high- contrast look, mix it with the rich red of Garnet.
Use Citrine with elegant pastel combinations with split-complements of blue and violet, using Aquamarine and Light Amethyst.
