Rock of the Week: CITRINE

Meet the Merchant's Stone. And yes, it absolutely looks like bottled sunshine. Citrine gets its name from the French word for lemon, and its color ranges from soft pale yellow to rich burnt amber depending on where it formed and how. It has been prized since ancient times, carved by the Greeks, worn by Roman soldiers, and traded for centuries as a stone of abundance, joy, and positive energy.

Here's the part that surprises people: natural citrine is actually quite rare. Most of the citrine in circulation has been heat treated from amethyst, its close cousin in the quartz family. The transformation is real, the beauty is undeniable, and the two minerals have been intertwined for as long as people have been collecting stones.

Citrine is one of only two crystals believed to never hold negative energy. It absorbs what it finds and transmutes it into something lighter. Bold, warm, and genuinely hard to put down once you're holding it.

We carry citrine in the Rock Shop. Come find yours.

The finest cave attraction in the Adirondacks, close to Lake George in Upstate New York.

Bonus points if it's a geode cracking moment, a cave selfie, or whatever face your kid made when they found something in the gem sluice. Those are our favorites!

A beloved Stone Bridge family member has passed and will be forever remembered.

Known as one of "The Builders" by mother Elfrieda along with brother Donald, they worked hard establishing much of the earlier infrastructure of our trails and buldings.

We love and will miss you Dave.
