What is the history of the citrine crystal?

It was used in Ancient Rome as jewelery and back then it was extremely rare. It's popularity peaked again in the nineteenth century, and then between World War I and World War II, in the Art Deco era, it was included in ravishing elaborate paces custom made for movie stars like Greta Garbo and others. Today the stone is no longer so rare, however, after a few decades when it was not taken seriously, it is once again considered a trendy beautiful gemstone to own.
