Citrine Stone

Citrine

Citrine is a variety of quartz whose color ranges from a pale yellow to brown. Citrine is actually naturally heated amethyst and smokey quartz. It is nearly impossible to tell cut citrine from yellow topaz visibly, but they differ in hardness. Citrine has ferric impurities, and is rarely found naturally. Most commercial citrine is artificially heated amethyst or smoky quartz.

Brazil is the leading producer of citrine, with much of its production coming from the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The name is derived from Latin citrina which means “yellow” and is also the origin of the word “citron.” Sometimes citrine and amethyst can be found together in the same crystal and is referred to as ametrine.

Citrine brings happiness, joy and optimism into your life. One of only two minerals on the planet which do not hold or accumulate negative energy, but dispels and transforms it. You don’t ever have to cleanse Citrine, because it doesn’t hold any negativity! Citrine energizes, and invigorates, promotes warmth, comfort, and energy.

This is a “stone of success” in all walks of life, and should be a part of anyone’s gemstone collection. If you don’t have any citrine, and you have not been very successful in your endeavors, perhaps balancing the “Yellow” energy will turn things around for you.
