Though its uses far exceed decor, Citrine has been a staple in decoration since ancient Grecian times. Now a staple for encouraging focus and creativity, Citrine acts as a beacon for receiving and maintaining wealth, particularly for those who are generous with their acquisitions.

Known as a stone that attracts success, Citrine also is said to attract money. Place a piece of Citrine in your wallet or purse, keeping in mind you may have other energetic blockages regarding perceptions of what it means to be considered “wealthy”. In ancient times, Citrine was thought to be a stone that would calm and soothe the soul of its wearer; the Romans believed it protected its wearer from impure thoughts.

Due to true raw citrine’s rarity, Over time, it was discovered that amethyst and smoky quartz could be heat treated to be marked as citrine. True citrine maintains a light, pale yellow clarity, whereas its imposters may be a more boastful, bold hue.

When you’re feeling heavy, down, or scattered, sit with recently cleansed Citrine and welcome its warmth and protection. Gaze into its crystalline world and let your eyes wander between the designs that dance within. Feel the energy of its sun warm your cheeks and provide you ground stable enough to take your first step toward the abundance and success that calls to you. What have you been unable to focus your energies on? What has been stopping you? Citrine seeks to dislodge it.

Be careful not to place your citrine in the light of the sun, as it will bleach the stone.
