Introduction
Citrine's chemical composition is silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Its color ranges from light yellow to golden orange, primarily due to trace amounts of iron (Fe³⁺) causing the color variation. It is also known as the "Merchant's Stone" or the "Stone of Wealth."

In historical documents, ancient merchants believed it could attract wealth, accumulate fortune, and bring business success; ancient Romans wore it as an amulet to ward off negative energy and bring happiness; medieval European nobles also inlaid it in rings or brooches, symbolizing the power of the sun and honor.
