Citrine is a golden-yellow to amber variety of quartz, coloured by traces of iron. Natural citrine is relatively rare; much on the market is heat-treated amethyst. Fine natural specimens come from Brazil, Madagascar and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its sunny colour has long linked it to warmth, wealth and vitality.
Citrine is the great stone of abundance, joy and manifestation, radiating the warm energy of the sun. Known as the 'merchant's stone', it is famed for attracting prosperity, success and new opportunity. It energises the will, boosting confidence, motivation and the power to bring goals into reality. Uniquely, it is said never to hold negativity, instead transmuting it into positive, uplifting energy. It kindles optimism, creativity and a bright, generous outlook on life.
Emotionally, citrine dispels fear, self-doubt and depression, replacing them with confidence and joy. It encourages a positive mindset and the courage to pursue what you want. Physically, it is associated with vitality, digestion and energising the body. It is a warm, motivating tonic for low spirits.
Keep citrine in your wallet, cash register or wealth corner of the home to attract abundance. Hold it during manifestation work while visualising your goals clearly. Wear it to boost confidence before important meetings or creative work. Place it in a sunny window to fill a room with uplifting energy.
Citrine activates the Solar Plexus and Sacral chakras, empowering confidence, willpower, creativity and personal power.
Citrine resonates especially with Gemini, Aries, Leo and Libra, and is a birthstone of November.
Cleanse citrine with smoke, sound or a quick rinse; because it transmutes rather than stores negativity, it needs cleansing less often. Recharge briefly in sunlight, though prolonged sun may fade heat-treated stones.
