Currant is the yellow type of quartz, and its name comes from the old French word meaning lemon. Its warm color is said to be a gift from the sun, making this yellow gemstone a perfect choice to brighten up any cold autumn day. The gemstone has been a popular gemstone since ancient times.

In ancient times, people thought that curtain gems could soothe nerves and anger, and manifest desires and prosperity. To benefit from these powers, the Egyptians used the curtain gems as amulets, the ancient Greeks carved iconic images in them, and the Roman priests painted them as rings.
