Citrine is a form of yellow quartz prized for its colour and cutability as a gemstone. In Victorian times it was known as the 'Merchants Stone' and was thought to attract financial abundance into one's life. For this reason small pieces were carried in purses and wallets as a talisman for good fortune. From a Feng Shui perspective, citrine can be placed in the wealth corner of a room or house to help attract abundance.
