CITRINE – The warm power of the sun color and summer

April 15, 2022

Citrine - a resonant and memorable name for a beautiful semi-precious stone, part of the large quartz family. Its name is derived from the Latin word "citrus" because of its lemony shade and color resemblance to the citrus fruit. Its color covers the entire spectrum of yellow - from lemon yellow to golden brown. What could be more invigorating and activating for creative energy than a mineral that carries the power of the Sun? That's why citrine is not coincidentally called the stone of summer!

The yellow crystals have very strong energy. They bestow a person with an optimistic mood, inspire them for new projects, stimulate them for active actions, and have a strong protective effect on both physical and mental aspects.

Citrine does not absorb negative energy from the surroundings; instead, it transforms, disperses, and grounds it. Therefore, it is one of the two semi-precious crystals on Earth, along with kyanite, that do not require "cleansing" or "recharging." This specificity defines it as a powerful energy source, protecting and balancing the surrounding space, as well as ourselves.

Citrine is one of the stones of success and prosperity. It encourages abundance in life and contributes to stability in all its aspects. It teaches us how to attract wealth and prosperity and how to retain that abundance. That's why citrine is sometimes called the "merchant's stone." Placed near the area where we keep our finances, citrine contributes to the permanent increase of resources.

Citrine does not like prolonged exposure to light or heat because it can alter its yellow shades. But if you care for it with respect, this mineral will gift you with generous protection against jealous energies directed towards you. This luxurious sunstone brings cohesion to the interpersonal relationships of its owner and subtly assists in easily resolving family or friendship issues during communication.

From a psychological perspective, citrine enhances self-esteem and confidence, removes destructive tendencies in our behavior, and mentally enhances concentration, awakening the mind. It is an excellent remedy for overcoming fears and depressive states because it brings joy, boosts self-esteem, and charges with optimism.

Citrine is an exceptionally favorable stone for energy healing of the endocrine system, especially the throat chakra. Along with amber, it brings comfort and positive charging to the thyroid gland. It exerts a powerful and beneficial influence on the urinary, digestive system, and kidneys. The golden hue of this yellow stone resembles the Sun - the most powerful energy source for humans. Therefore, symbolically, citrine acts as a little sun, strengthening the attractive creative power of its bearer.

The yellow stone is highly preferred in the ancient practice of Feng Shui for achieving harmony in life. Placed in specific areas of the home, it nourishes the earthly body and keeps us stable and balanced.

Information about the use of citrine as a decoration dates back to 300 BCE. Its golden shimmer and beauty were preferred in the decoration of buildings, ornaments, jewelry, clothing, and even inlaying weapon handles throughout the centuries and so... to the present day. For example, Greta Garbo was strongly attracted to citrine and often wore jewelry with it.

Jewelers love to create works with citrine. Placed on our body, it delicately enhances the sacral chakra, responsible for stability and awakened creativity.
