Citrine Gemstone 925 Sterling Silver necklace Gift For Mother

Citrine derives its name from the French word citron, meaning lemon. As you can imagine, the name of the stone is inspired by its colour. One of the earliest mentions of this stone is in the Bible. The stone is called chrysolitus meaning golden stone in the Old Testament. This stone was favoured by the ancient Romans and Greeks, especially during the Hellenistic Age. People used it not just for making jewellery, though. In the seventeenth century, Scottish weapons makers used it to decorate dagger handles.
