History
Citrine is a member of the quartz family and dates back thousands of years. In the Roman Catholic and Latin versions of the Old Testament, citrine was known as chrysolitus (Greek for golden stone). In 17th century Europe, citrine was largely used by Scottish weapon makers to decorate dagger handles. Soon enough diamonds gained mainstream popularity, and Citrine was overshadowed. In the 19th Century, Citrine found new admirers and soon it came back even more powerful and glorious than ever before. An interesting fact in Citrine’s history is that due to Queen Victoria’s love for colored gems, Citrine became the traditional stone used for kilt gems.
