Deriving its name from the French word 'citron', meaning lemon, the gemstone citrine has a color palette encompassing ‘yellow’ to ‘gold’ to ‘orange-brown’ shades of transparent quartz. The darker orange nuances of citrine, referred to as 'Madeira citrine' named after the color of the wine, is generally considered to be the most valuable color. Most citrine is mined in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where there is presently an abundant supply. Citrine, modern birthstone for November, is considered an alternative to topaz, but which is a separate mineral. In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts.
