Citrene

Citrene gets its name from the French word "citrin" meaning yellow. Legend here has it that an Incan princess pledged to the sun god, fell in love with a mortal, so angering the sun god that he struck them down creating citrene as his tear drops for the lost love. This fiery golden orange quartz usually comes from Brazil and is an alternate November birthstone.
