CITRINE

General information

Citrine is yellow or orange-brown in color. The stone belongs to the macrocrystalline quartz family. Citrine is often copied by heating amethyst or smoky quartz. This variant is less powerful than naturally occurring citrine. Smoky citrine is a combination of citrine and smoky quartz and unites the properties of both stones.

Effect

Citrine is a sunny and warming stone. The stone promotes self-confidence, self-respect, individuality, extroversion and stimulates self-realization. It gives energy, zest for life and courage and thus helps to overcome depression, fears and phobias and self-destructive behavior. Citrine attracts happiness, prosperity, success, wealth and abundance and encourages the wearer to share this with others. The stone makes one creative and promotes self-expression and helps to resolve conflicts within a group. Citrine protects the aura and cleanses the chakras. The stone also provides physical energy. It stimulates digestion and has a beneficial effect on the stomach, spleen, pancreas and intestines. Citrine also helps with kidney and bladder infections, improves blood circulation and helps people with chronic fatigue syndrome.
