Citrine

about Citrine

Citrine is the yellow, golden yellow, golden orange and reddish orange variety of quartz. In 1556 a German metallurgist Georg Bauer known to some as the "father of modern mineralogy" named yellow quartz "citrine" in a publication about gemstones and jewelry. Bauer realized the value in name marketing and the name "citrine" has been used since. The most likely root of the word citrine is from the old French word for yellow-citron-or the Latin word citrus for the color of citrus for the color of citrus fruit.
Historically citrine has been known for thousands of years. Some biblical scholars feel that citrine fits the description of the tenth gemstone of twelve stones in Aron's breastplate as found in the book of Exodus.
In ancient Greece citrine was popular as a decorative gem.
In the 17th century Scottish weapon makers placed citrine on dagger handles, sometimes using a single large citrine crystal as the handles themselves.
Citrine became a popular gemstone for traditional kilt pins and shoulder brooches mainly due to Queen Victoria's fascination with the gem.
In the early 20th century during the Art Deco period citrine again rose to prominence as a much desired gemstone.
