What does the yellow stone symbolize?
Of all the colors in the rainbow, yellow attracts our attention more than others. It’s no coincidence that companies like Hertz, Shell, IKEA, Amazon and many others have at least some yellow elements and almost all of those fast food establishments that compete for our attention on the highway – MacDonald’s, Denny’s, Burger King, Sonic, Subway. , even the cracker at Taco Bell is filled with yellow. In nature, yellow is the color of sunflowers, tulips and daffodils, bananas, lemons and mangoes, birds, bees and fish, sunlight, autumn leaves and sandy beaches. In ancient empires such as the Egyptian, Greek and Roman, yellow gemstones were associated with the life-giving power and positivity of the sun. Psychologically, the color yellow is optimistic and invigorating, bringing the energy of the sun and youth, as well as a sense of confidence and well-being. Yellow can stimulate the left side of the brain, which affects concentration and quick decision making. On the other hand, a yellowish or sallow appearance may indicate diseases such as jaundice and malaria, or simply general ill health. It is associated with cowardice, madness and deceit and, because it is so often used in warning signs, with caution and inaction.
Throughout the world, the color yellow has different meanings.

Let’s take a look at a few of the most powerful and most popular yellow gemstones in the world today. They were chosen not only for their spiritual power and classic yellow color, but also because they are readily available and come in a practical variety of sizes and shapes suitable for use in jewelry or decorative objects.
I was pretty strict with the color – nothing too orange or too green, they can be stunning colors but this article is about yellow stones! We’ll look at prices for no particular reason and start with the most expensive.
Diamond
Diamonds are most often white or colorless, with dazzling and sparkling clarity, but diamonds can actually be found in many colors. Colored diamonds are among the rarest and most valuable of all gemstones, but the most common color diamond is the yellow variety. Yellow diamonds still have the fire and sparkle that makes diamonds so sought after, but with that wonderful, sun-kissed “shimmer.” These gemstones have all the spiritual power of other yellow gemstones, as well as the immense power of the diamonds themselves.
Yellow sapphire
Just as diamonds are classically clear, sapphires are traditionally considered blue gemstones, but they can also be found in almost every color imaginable, including a range of stunning yellow shades. As a sapphire, it still has the renowned durability and spiritual power of all other sapphires. In fact, according to Hindu Vedic astrology, yellow sapphire is one of the most powerful gemstones and is associated with Jupiter, the planet that brings happiness, luck and prosperity.
Diaspore color change
We were hesitant to include this gemstone, but there is no doubt that in daylight it displays a delightful soft yellow color and at night under artificial light it transforms into a gorgeous pink gemstone. This can’t be bad, can it? With this gemstone you will receive the joy and optimism of yellow and the love and affection of pink.
Yellow chrysoberyl
Despite its name, chrysoberyl does not belong to the famous beryl family of gemstones. However, it is a rare and exotic gemstone that takes its name from the Greek words for gold and green. In this range you will find delightful yellow shades with superb clarity and truly vibrant sparkle. Here in the east, chrysoberyl is believed to protect against the “evil eye.”
yellow apatite
Apatite is a little-known gemstone and is not often seen in jewelry because it is a relatively soft stone. It can be used for necklaces, earrings and brooches where it will be less susceptible to knocks or knocks, and also as a decorative stone for its spiritual power. It comes in a wide range of bright yellow colors and can be found in some very impressive cut gemstones. The yellow version is especially valued for its ability to increase attention and concentration levels.
Golden Beryl
Golden beryl is the sister gemstone to the famous emerald, aquamarine and morganite, although it can be purchased at much lower prices. Its polished luster and generally excellent clarity make golden beryl a gemstone of excellent quality and class, suitable for any type of jewelry.
Grossularite Garnet
This gemstone is a member of the famous and diverse garnet family, which includes green tsavorite, orange hessonite and red pyrope, among many others. Grossularite gets its name from the botanical name for gooseberry, and the color can range from lemon yellow to greenish yellow. Grossularite Garnet has all the spiritual powers that garnet is famous for, as well as impressive fire, brilliance and purity.
Yellow sillimanite
Like the apatite mentioned above, sillimanite is a fairly little known gemstone despite its excellent appearance. I’m not sure why as it has decent durability making it suitable for use with most jewelry, excellent shine and decent clarity, and a very reasonable price. Maybe it’s the name!
Citrine
Enter “What is the most popular yellow gemstone?” in the Google search box and Citrine is sure to come up as an answer. I always thought it was more orange or gold than yellow, but who am I to argue with the Internet? However, there is no doubt about the irresistible spiritual power of citrine and its outstanding appearance. Vibrant and eye-catching, citrine, also known as the “Merchant’s Stone,” has many good reasons to be among the world’s most beloved yellow gemstones.
yellow quartz
You can’t beat yellow quartz for a reasonably priced but great looking gemstone. It is available in all possible sizes from a few millimeters to a couple of inches and in every conceivable shape. It is a durable gemstone with excellent clarity that can be made into any type of jewelry and has a powerful spiritual basis.
Yellow agate
While the yellow quartz mentioned above tends to be clear and faceted, yellow agate is more opaque and usually has a cabochon shape – a flat bottom with a domed top. Agate has been used to carve amulets and create jewelry for thousands of years and was one of the first gemstones to be used regularly by mankind. Its long spiritual history and magnificent appearance make yellow agate a first-class yellow gemstone.
Honorable mentions

We should just mention a few other gems that just didn’t make the main list.

- yellow pearl

In some cases, everything could be called yellow, but that didn’t quite meet our exacting standards!

A natural yellow diamond is a stone of exceptional beauty, valued for its rich palette of shades from faint yellowish, almost transparent, to bright lemon color. In branded jewelry with an original design, golden-cognac and even tangerine diamonds are found. The yellow color of diamonds comes from an admixture of nitrogen. The more of this substance in the crystal, the richer the color. A shade that falls outside the MZ color category of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) classification is classified as Fancy. If the weight of a stone exceeds 100 carats, such a specimen also receives a name that becomes known to the whole world. For example, the 128,54-carat Tiffany Diamond, a golden-yellow diamond, has been part of Tiffany & Co. history since 1978. and is not offered for sale. On the international market, the price of a yellow diamond of medium clarity varies in the range of 8–25 thousand dollars per 1 carat.

Golden topaz
This is a glassy crystal, translated from Sanskrit “tapas” – “heat”, “flame”, “fire”. The number of shades of golden topaz is difficult to count: from a heterogeneous degree of depth of yellow to iridescent iridescent combinations with reddish, brownish and greenish undertones. Although yellow is the natural color of the mineral, stones are sometimes subjected to heat treatment to change or improve the color. Faceted topaz is primarily valued in jewelry. Any jewelry with a honey stone will look light and elegant in a gold or silver frame. The pricing policy for such minerals is 50-70 dollars per carat. Expensive “imperial” varieties are valued at $100–600 per carat.

Citrine
It is a crystalline variety of quartz in origin. The name comes from the Latin “citrus”, which means “lemon yellow”. The color of the crystals varies from pale straw to intense brown-orange. Natural lemon citrine is very rare, so the stones are heated to produce rich shades, the most noble of which is called “madera”. Gems are characterized by hardness, density and are easy to cut and polish. Thanks to an incredible kaleidoscope of yellow shades, citrine combines with any metal and harmonizes incomparably with other precious stones. The cost of citrines is low. A top quality stone will cost $20-50 per carat.

yellow amber
Natural amber is the hardened resin of ancient coniferous trees. The classic range of this mineral is yellow-orange, honey, red and cognac shades. Amber resin has a heterogeneous color with unusual transitions and textures. Often contains remains of flora or fauna with air bubbles. Such inclusions increase the value of the stone many times over. Due to its loose structure and low hardness, amber is subjected to minimal processing in the form of cabochons or soft fancy shapes. Amber raw materials are in great demand in the jewelry industry. Yellow amber jewelry is always in fashion. Stones with artificial inclusions of insects, feathers or bubbles in products look original and elegant. The price of amber is calculated in grams. Golden and straw specimens sell for no more than $15 per gram.
