Citrine, derived from the French word “citron” meaning lemon, is a radiant gemstone renowned for its vibrant yellow hue and dynamic energy. Dating back to ancient Roman times, Citrine adorned exquisite jewellery and was cherished for its beauty and metaphysical properties. This crystal energises every level of life, serving as a powerful cleanser and emotional balancer while boosting self-esteem and confidence. Its bright yellow hue reflects raw, vibrant energy, ranging from deep yellow to creamy or buttery pale honey colours.

Citrine forms naturally in crystalline structures within the Earth’s crust in volcanic rocks, and sedimentary deposits. Its formation begins when silicon dioxide-rich solutions containing trace amounts of iron are subjected to high temperatures and pressures over extended periods. These conditions facilitate the growth of quartz crystals, with the presence of iron imparting Citrine’s characteristic yellow hue.

The Spiritual Vibes

Just be aware much of the Citrine available in the market is heat-treated Amethyst, which mimics the desired colour. If our Citrine is heat-treated we will disclose this. Genuine Citrine is treasured for its ability to stimulate creativity, infuse joy, delight, and enthusiasm into daily life, and promote abundance and prosperity. It activates the Solar Plexus and Sacral Chakras, enhancing one’s manifestation capabilities and attracting wealth and success.

Citrine's Favourite Pairing Crystals

To amplify Citrine’s energy, consider pairing it with other crystals such as Clear Quartz, Pyrite, or Green Aventurine. Clear Quartz magnifies Citrine’s abundance and cleansing properties, while Pyrite enhances its manifestation powers and brings a protective energy. Green Aventurine complements Citrine’s joy and creativity, fostering a sense of optimism and opportunity.

Harness the uplifting energy of Citrine by wearing it as jewellery, placing it in your workspace or meditation area, or carrying it with you throughout the day. Let Citrine infuse your life with abundance, confidence, and joy as you embrace its radiant energy.
