Cultural history of citrine

The ancient Egyptians and Greeks used citrine as a stone of protection and healing. They believed that this stone with its radiant golden hue could dispel negative energies and bring mental clarity. In Chinese tradition, citrine was associated with prosperity and wealth, while Native American tribes used it for its healing properties. In the Middle Ages, citrine was worn as a protective talisman against plague and negative thinking. Today, citrine is used in modern jewelry and as a healing stone in lithotherapy.
