Citrine - exam stone

The beautiful yellow gemstone I enjoy using in my jewelry is citrine. It is quite lovely, so I thought I would introduce you to this special stone you can adorn yourself with. 

Citrine is also known as an exam stone. It is said to help boost self-confidence and provide mental strength. The stone can also be used when dieting, managing asthma, or recovering from pill addiction and other forms of substance abuse. It must also be said that mental strength is a good thing to have. 

Citrine has many spiritual properties, including energy, enthusiasm, self-esteem, success, wealth, generosity, and joy. In ancient times, it was also said that citrine helped protect against venomous snake bites. 

Historically, citrine was used as a kind of amulet to protect against illness, the plague, and skin blemishes. 

The stone's beautiful yellow hue comes from a small amount of iron within the stone. 

Citrine is the birthstone for November, and it is said that wearing your birthstone brings good luck. 

The name citrine comes from the French word for lemon.
