Metaphysical Properties Of Citrine

Citrine is a yellow quartz that has been associated for centuries as possessing the healing properties of the sun, but it can also be greenish-yellow, brownish-yellow, or orange. The mineral is often found in association with amethyst, but it is much rarer than its purple cousin. Indeed, citrine is made by heat-treating amethyst. Like all quartz, citrine is made of silicon and oxygen atoms arranged in a tetrahedral pattern, essentially a triangular pyramid. Citrine is found in a large number of locations, including France, Britain, Russia, Madagascar, Burma, Spain, U.S., and Brazil. But the crystal—and its purported healing powers—dates back centuries, to the time of the ancient Greeks.

The energy of this mineral is especially applicable to the areas of the solar plexus and the chakras located at the hands and feet. It can be used to gently dissolve negative energies and emotional blockages. It softens negeative energy and allows the positive frequencies to enter the realm of affection. It works to dissolve the resultant formations, effects, dissorders and diease which a problem has created. Citrine is one of the minerals on the planet which does not hold and accumulate negative energy, but dissipates and transmutes it, working-out problems on both the physical and subtle levels. It, hence never needs clearing or cleansing. The word "citrine" comes from the Greek word meaning citron, as many of the earliest crystals found had a color similar to the citrus fruit of that name. As noted, citrine is formed by heat-treating amethyst, specifically purple amethyst. Heat treating, in relation to minerals, gems, and crystals, refers to the process of enhancing a gemstone to give it a more desirable color or remove its flaws by subjecting it to very high temperatures.

The heat treatment is also thought to give citrine more powerful healing powers than its gemstone cousin. The color is key here: The heat treatment expands the auric field of the crystal, filling it with light and clearing away any lingering etheric toxins. Citrine is also a manifestation crystal that can motivate you to take action. It brings optimism and cheerfulness. Citrine is a good stone for aligning all the chakras (energy centers). It focuses on balancing the solar plexus chakra, which in turn integrates the lower and higher chakras. It has been reported that citrine is one of the stones to be called the "merchant's stone"; placing a piece of citrine in ones cash box has produced more income for the merchant.
