Citrine

The gorgeous pale yellow color of this crystal hides the fact that it is yet another form of quartz! This is just another of the many reasons why quartz is known as "the mother crystal." Without quartz, the world of crystals would be far less colorful, and we would be missing some of the most potent stones on the planet. Let us quickly express our gratitude to Mother Quartz for providing us with the powerful Citrine! 

Back to Citrine… this beautiful gemstone is often hexagonal in shape and has a cloudy, almost hazy appearance, which adds to its mysterious allure. Citrine is derived from the French word "citron," which translates to lemon, and it's easy to see why! It is also known as the "sunlight stone" or "summer stone" because its color is as bright as the midday sun!

The stone also holds the spiritual properties of joy, abundance, and transformation. Akin to a fresh, cool glass of lemonade on a hot day, the stone energizes the individual from within! How cool is that?!

Citrine is an ideal stone to realign and balance your chakras and energy. The stone is famous for its profound soothing energy and is often referred to as the ‘traveling merchants stone”, since it has the ability to transfer positive healing power from one person to another. Now in today’s world, we might not have many traveling merchants out there, ha! But, we do have a massive amount of people who are interested in crystal healing, doing what the “merchants” of old would have done, spreading the power of this stone around the globe!

The crystal is found the world over, but can most often be found in Spain, Madagascar, Russia, and Brazil. Citrine is often found in hard to reach places! Maybe these hard to reach places are what power the stones positive energy and healing abilities?
