Sometimes referred to as the “light maker”, citrine was in ancient times believed to carry the power of the sun, and bring luck and light to those who wore or carried it. It was particularly believed to bring financial prosperity, and is often referred to as the merchant’s stone. These days, the citrine birthstone is still associated with positivity and light, and believed to bring sunshine to all areas of your life. Citrine jewellery is thought to bring its wearer increased self confidence, optimism and positivity.
