Citrine Gemstone Beads
Citrine is one of the many varieties of quartz that are used for gemstone beads. Because of the beautiful yellow color of genuine Citrine Beads, they are often called ‘sunstones’. It is also known as the ‘stone of the mind,’ and the ‘merchant’s stone.’ Quartz is the most plentiful mineral on the planet, and citrine is found in many places.

Dazzling Yellow
Citrine beads come in many shades of yellow ranging from very pale to bright yellow to gold to orange. This gemstone can also be greenish or brownish yellow as well. The name citrine means ‘golden yellow’ in Latin and was derived from the citron fruit, a type of citrus fruit that is most commonly found dried and candied in fruitcake. Citrine has the same hardness level as amethyst and other types of quartz, making it durable and able to stand up to everyday wear. Darker citrine gemstone beads resemble topaz and they can substitute for the birthstone for November.
Citrine Gemstone Beads May Attract Money
Citrine is also called ‘sunstone’ because of its golden yellow color. The gold of citrine beads also reminds people of money, so citrine is believed to be lucky. Stick a citrine in your pocket before heading to the casino or playing the lottery. It is also called the ‘merchant’s stone’ because some people who run shops keep a piece of citrine in their cash box or drawer to attract sales. Keep a golden citrine on hand to keep money coming in instead of going out.
Yellow Goes with Everything
Citrine’s various yellow hues combine well with other gemstones. Mix bright orange citrine beads with fire opals, carnelian, or orange chalcedony. Brown stones, such as smoky quartz caramel, or chocolate chalcedony, look yummy with glowing yellow citrine. It pairs well with multicolored stones, too, for example, fluorite or tourmaline. Citrine and amethyst work well together; as a matter of fact, a necklace or bracelet of yellow citrine, violet amethyst, and the bi-colored, yellow, and purple ametrine would be unique.
Metaphysical Uses
Citrine is often used to increase self-esteem, promote an open mind, and increase clarity of thought. It is a stone of manifestation and it helps focus the mind on a goal and attracts positive energy toward that purpose. It attracts wealth and prosperity and promotes generosity in the wearer. Citrine gemstone beads spark creativity and are a perfect choice for artists of all kinds.
