Sunlight that decided to become a rock and never apologized for the warmth.
means A transparent yellow-to-amber variety of quartz, prized as a gemstone for its sunny color.
from From the French 'citrin,' meaning lemon-colored, which traces back to the Latin 'citrus' — the citron tree and its yellow fruit. The same root that gives us 'citrus' on the breakfast table gives us 'citrine' in the jeweler's tray; both are simply ways of saying 'the color of a lemon held up to the light.'
