Natural Citrine

Citrine is a yellow to golden-brown variety of Quartz, formed in igneous rocks like granite or pegmatite. Its vibrant color is primarily caused by trace amounts of iron within the crystal, which undergoes natural irradiation to produce the characteristic yellow and golden hues.

Most of the Citrine available on the market is actually heat-treated Amethyst. While natural Citrine is relatively rare, Amethyst is far more abundant. When exposed to high temperatures, Amethyst undergoes a transformation, changing its color from purple to yellow, orange, or even reddish hues. These heat-treated stones often display a more intense color with noticeable variations and white patches. In contrast, natural Citrine typically has a more uniform, slightly smoky or honey-toned appearance. It forms through natural geological heating processes over millions of years, making it highly sought after by collectors and crystal enthusiasts

Energetically, Citrine is known as the "stone of abundance." It promotes positivity, wealth, and personal power, while enhancing creativity and motivation. It stimulates the solar plexus chakra, boosting confidence, vitality, and mental clarity. Citrine also helps release negative energy, providing emotional balance and supporting joyful transformation.
