Citrine - Deep Dive

Guys ... it has to be a staple for me! Not many days go past when I don't use or wear Citrine in some form or another! It's sunny, happy, positive energy is a constant reminder to me that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond, and when I glance at my bracelet im reminded to be positive and look for the lesson in every situation. I also, of course, run my own business and for anyone who does the same, this abundance attracting crystal is essential!!!

Wear Citrine all the time, place it in your purse, scatter it about the home, pop in your till, rub over bills and bank statements or pop in your wealth corner!! (just avoid keeping it in a toilet, bathroom, kitchen, or anywhere that has a drain or sink ... you don't want to wash your wealth away!!!)

Yes, sometimes! Lots of Citrine you see nowadays is actually amethyst taken through a heat treatment. But don't panic; this isn't necessarily a bad thing! Heat treating Amethyst is just us humans mimicking what the earth does; here's how:

Citrine is a member of the quartz family, just like Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz, Smokey Quartz and amethyst. Citrine is only found in a few places around the world. Natural citrine is formed with Amethyst or smokey quartz get superheated by the earth's mantle. Over time, the amethyst or smokey quartz become citrine. Natural citrine is relatively rare.

Heat treated Citrine is when a piece of amethyst or smokey quartz is heated up to around 900 degrees in a kiln, and therefore it is not 'natural' but rather mimicking what the earth does. Some people believe that because its given a helping hand by humans that it doesn't hold the same properties as natural citrine. But to look at it from another perspective... Mother Earth creates natural citrine our of amethyst and smokey quartz, and so does man. It's the same process. Hopefully that makes you love Citrine ~ even the bits that have been given a helping hand. Since the makeup of these two variations of Citrine is the same, as well as the process of creating Citrine, the metaphysical properties and energy of the stone are similar.
