Citrine is referred to as the stone of success.
It is the color yellow, which is the color of the solar plexus chakra.That is the energy center or “Chakra” which is the seat of emotional and material power.
Citrine Crystals are a kind of quartz and are closely related to Amethyst. As a matter of fact, most of the Citrine on the market began as Amethyst and was heated to become the yellow color.
However, in some Amethyst deposits, the Amethyst has been partially or fully changed over to yellow Citrine by completely natural means of heating. That is how all gemstones are created in Nature.
It has been found in many countries including France, Britain, and the USA . The true gem quality Citrine is extremely rare. The best gemstones are found in Brazil, Spain, Madagascar and the former USSR.
Its name is derived from the Greek word meaning ‘citron’ because it is commonly of a color similar to the citrus fruit of that name.
Sometimes Citrine has a “smoky” shade to it, and the natural Citrine stone may often look like pale Smokey Quartz crystals.
It is said to have different metaphysical qualities than the brighter version of manufactured heat treated Citrine stone. Natural light yellow Citrine is often termed “Lemon Quartz” on the gemstone market.
The natural version is adopted for both manifestation and healing, whereas the brighter version is useful for enhancing creative abilities.
It is the birthstone of November and June. Yellow Topaz and Citrine are both Quartz crystals, though in origin completely different ones, and they are both utilized as the birthstone for November.
Yellow is associated with the number 6 and the astrological signs of Gemini, Aries, Libra and Leo.
