Natural citrine forms in hydrothermal veins and pegmatites, and is most notably sourced from the Ural Mountains of Russia, Madagascar, Brazil, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its name derives from the Latin \u003cem\u003ecitrina\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical formula: SiO₂ (silicon dioxide)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 7 on the Mohs scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal system: Trigonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLustre: Vitreous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransparency: Transparent to translucent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecific gravity: 2.65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn crystal healing traditions, Citrine is known as the \u003cstrong\u003eMerchant’s Stone\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eStone of Abundance\u003c\/strong\u003e — associated with positivity, confidence, creativity, and the manifestation of prosperity.
