Citrine was extensively used by the ancient Greeks and Romans for making jewellery. It was used for medical purposes like treatment from snake bites, heart ailments and stomach problems. Its mystical properties were also appreciated. With modern day advances in trade, citrine has further acquired quite a bit of popularity, and hence earned quite a few metaphors for itself.  For example one of its names is ‘stone of the mind’. This name derives its roots from the belief that placing the stone on someone’s forehead, enhances his mental abilities. 

Another name is the ‘Merchant’s Stone’, because it is believed that citrine enhances business prospects. According to many indigenous cultures, it also influences good physical health. 

Other than this a citrine angel can be a perfect gift for a new born to bring him lifelong health, wealth, happiness, growth, power and prosperity. 

It is also one of the most affordable gemstones. However, because it is quite a task to obtain the Citrine in its natural state, today, if you do find one from the bygone times – do not be surprised to be given a premium quote, based on virtues of its original and long-standing attributes.
