Golden and radiant like the sun, citrine is a crystal that has been cherished for centuries for its beauty and uplifting energy. Whether you're drawn to its vibrant hue or intrigued by its metaphysical properties, citrine has much to offer in the world of crystal healing and handmade jewellery.
The Beauty of Citrine
Citrine's warm yellow to amber tones evoke a sense of happiness and positivity. Its name derives from the French word citron, meaning lemon, reflecting its cheerful colouration. Naturally occurring citrine is rare and often forms in quartz, making it a beloved gem for jewellery enthusiasts who appreciate its natural elegance.
When incorporated into jewellery, citrine is not just an accessory—it’s a statement of personal energy and style. Its warm hues pair beautifully with boho designs, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
Metaphysical Properties of Citrine
Citrine is often referred to as the "merchant's stone" or "stone of abundance." It is believed to attract wealth, success, and prosperity, making it a popular choice for those seeking to enhance their financial or professional lives.
In addition to its reputation for abundance, citrine is known for its ability to:
Boost Confidence: Encouraging self-esteem and personal power.
Enhance Positivity: Dispelling negativity and promoting a cheerful mindset.
Foster Creativity: Stimulating the imagination and inspiring new ideas.
Many crystal enthusiasts carry citrine to harness its energising properties, keeping it close as a source of joy and motivation.
A History of Citrine
Citrine has a rich history that spans ancient civilizations. The Greeks used it as decorative pieces as early as 300 BC, and during the Roman era, citrine was crafted into intaglio work for rings and pendants. In the 17th century, Scottish men often adorned their weaponry with citrine.
Its golden glow was thought to hold the essence of the sun, symbolsing life, warmth, and vitality. Today, it remains a symbol of light and abundance, treasured for its aesthetic and spiritual qualities.
