Citrine
The Merchant’s Stone
It starts with the citrine hills
And flows free to the valleys edge
With sweet tendrils of light entwining
Autumn’s story of fiery glory unveiled
The Quartz family holds the brother stone of citrine in very high regard. Citrine is said to have absorbed the rays of the sun, and in doing so, is simply a bright and happy stone. It is so happy, in fact, that it is unable to tolerate any negative energy. This makes it good for protection in general and helps bring an energetic stability, repelling negativity and drawing hope. It is a stone for letting your light shine and seeking clarity. It highlights creativity and truth. Prosperity and success seem to follow wherever it goes, spilling over into a great sense of generosity and abundance.

Sacred Story
Queen Victoria loved both Scotland and citrine. She built Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands after her marriage with Prince Albert to show her love of the land and the people added citrine as part of both shoulder brooches and kilt pins to celebrate her. Now, citrine is an essential part of the Highland attire.
