This name is given to it because of its yellow color. This fine stone is transparent and has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. It belongs to the quartz family and can be found under the name of \"yellow hyaline quartz\". It is composed of sodium dioxide and iron, which gives it this beautiful yellow color, more or less pale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This natural citrine stone has been known for thousands of years. Around 480 BC, writings from the Old Testament describe the presence of a citrine on the breastplate of Aaron, brother of Moses. Indeed, he wore on the breastplate of his armor twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel, including a citrine. Later, the Gregorian calendar links its twelve stones to the twelve months of the year. Citrine is associated with the month of November.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn a region on the borders of Brazil and Bolivia, a legend tells that a sorcerer had captured the mantle of dawn and enclosed it in a crystal. Annoyed, the sun then decided to hide it in the depths of the Earth, which later became the mine of the Ayoeros tribe. They then extracted citrine from this mine.\u003cbr\u003e Later, the princess of this tribe, named Anahi and descendant of the sorcerer fell in love with a Spanish conquistador but his people refused to see her leave the tribe. They preferred to sacrifice her, rather than see her leave for Spain. While Anahi was dying in her husband's arms, she gave him a citrine stone, symbol of their eternal love. In the 19th century, the miners who worked in this mine, say that sometimes, they hear the cries of the conquistador, crying for his sweet and tender wife Anahi.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe benefits of citrine have been known since ancient times. In ancient civilizations, it was known to be a real talisman. It helped fight against bad luck and had the reputation of protecting against bites from poisonous animals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In Ancient Greece, various mythological heroes such as Chiron are associated with natural citrine. Chiron, son of the god Chronos, is renowned for his wisdom and science. Artemis and Apollo had taught him medicine and to perfectly master nature and its qualities. He thus discovered that natural citrine had great healing and protective powers. However, it could not relieve him of his suffering caused by the poisoned arrow he received inadvertently and which caused his end.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMoreover, the Romans used this stone in the manufacture of notches and cabochons. They also believed that natural citrine protected them from animal bites, poisonous insects, bad luck and negative emotions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the 15th century, the name citrine was given to the stone by the German scholar Georges Bauer, also called Agricola.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the 19th century, citrine stone was found in large quantities on combs and tiaras. Queen Victoria of England (1819 - 1901) was particularly fond of this stone because of its luminous color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The main deposits are in Madagascar, Brazil, Congo, etc.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Lithotherapy, natural citrine is an energizing stone for both the body and the mind. This stone is bright, warm and soothes various emotional disorders. It thus allows to achieve a certain serenity, strengthens concentration and memory. Thus, it is recommended to students when preparing for exams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is an ideal stone for people of great sensitivity.
