Golden yellow, flattish rounded beads

Citrine's color ranges from pale yellow to brown due to a submicroscopic distribution of colloidal ferric hydroxide impurities. The name is derived from the Latin word citrina which means "yellow" and is also the origin of the word "citron". Sometimes citrine and amethyst can be found together in the same crystal, which is then referred to as ametrine. Citrine has been referred to as the "merchant's stone" or "money stone", due to a superstition that it would bring prosperity.
