Why is citrine called the merchant's stone?

What should you know about citrine scratch resistance and heat?
Citrine has a Mohs hardness of 7 (International Gem Society). This describes scratch resistance; it does not guarantee that a bracelet cannot fracture or be damaged in everyday wear.
Heat-treated citrine may fade when exposed to heat (International Gem Society). This heat caution does not by itself establish how the stone responds to every lighting or cleaning condition.
Which yellow crystal bracelets contain citrine?
Sunstruck (8 mm, $115) contains raw-nugget citrine or lemon quartz, clear quartz, and sterling silver. Its brand lore describes the bracelet through themes of confidence, abundance, and optimism.
Happiness Is (11 mm, $95) contains strawberry quartz, aquamarine, amethyst, citrine, tiger's eye, black rutilated quartz, moss agate, clear quartz, and sterling silver. Its brand narrative presents the multi-stone combination as a joyful mix of intentions.
Because Happiness Is contains several different minerals, citrine's hardness should not be treated as the hardness of the bracelet as a whole.
