INSIDE: Citrine healing properties are abundant and radiant. Let's learn what Citrine is, how it can help us physically, mentally, and emotionally, and the different ways we can use it.

 

Citrine is one of our favorite healing stones as it brings the energy of the sun into our lives, dissipating low energies and replacing them with vibrant, joyful energy. 

Let's learn all about it!

What is Citrine?

Citrine is a macro crystalline form of Quartz, as are Amethyst, Aventurine and Rose Quartz. It is a mineral composed of silicon dioxide.

Natural Citrine is rare. Most Citrine gems on the market are heat-treated Amethyst or Smoky Quartz.

Gem-quality transparent specimens of Citrine with good color are very rare. The best examples of some such Citrine stones come from Brazil, Madagascar and the former USSR. The stone is also found in Scotland, France and Colorado.

Brazilian Amethyst turns yellow at 878° while Smoky Quartz changes color at a lower temperature (572° to 752°). These heat-treated stones have a slightly reddish tint.

Citrine’s name is derived from the Latin word “citrina” due to its pale-yellow citrus color (which is thanks to its iron content). In the earlier times, Citrine was called the "sun stone," and the it was thought to be useful for the protection of snakebites.

Its color was associated with gold; thus it became known as the merchant's stone. Citrine was believed to improve communication and to attract wealth. To the Romans, it was the stone of Mercury, the messenger God, and it was used for carving intaglios.

Citrine Care 

Citrine can be cleansed under tap water, in salt water, or over the smoke from a smudge stick. But you should generally keep it away from sunlight because it fades the color.

Since Citrine is a fast-moving energy stone, it should be cleansed regularly and properly. If you wear it on you, make sure to cleanse it before going to bed or after waking up in the morning.

Citrine healing properties can become weaker over time if proper cleansing isn't done. Citrine should be kept in darker places, away from direct light, and it should be kept on soft surfaces in order to preserve it.
