Citrine

Citrine carries the energy of the Sun — bright, warm, and energizing. It resonates with the solar plexus chakra, the seat of personal power and confidence. Unlike many crystals that absorb and need regular cleansing, citrine is one of the few stones that doesn't hold negative energy — it transmutes it automatically. In abundance work, citrine is placed in cash registers, wallets, or the wealth corner of a home (the far left corner from the entrance, according to feng shui). Its energy is believed to support not just financial prosperity but abundance in all forms — creativity, joy, health, and opportunity. Citrine also serves as a powerful mood lifter. Its bright energy can help dispel depression, fear, and self-doubt. It encourages optimism, motivation, and the courage to pursue goals. Many practitioners wear citrine jewelry during important meetings or creative work for confidence and mental clarity.

Natural citrine is rare — most commercial citrine is heat-treated amethyst, which turns yellow. Natural citrine has been valued since ancient Greek times. Brazilian miners discovered major deposits in the 18th century. Scottish warriors used citrine-adorned sword hilts and brooches for protection in the 17th century.

Place citrine in your workspace or near your financial records to support abundance. Wear it when you need a confidence boost. Meditate with citrine on your solar plexus to strengthen personal power. Note that natural citrine is pale yellow; deep orange specimens are usually heat-treated amethyst — both are effective.
