Natural Citrine is relatively rare. Many of the stones sold today

are artifically created by heating amethyst to approximately 900

degrees in Fahrenheit, whereupon it turns a beautiful golden color.

These Citrines show pale red, pale orange or warm bronze shades,

whereas the natural citrine is greenish-yellow in color.

The pleasing color and hardness of Citrine make it suitable for

cutting, faceting and making striking pieces of jewelry. Because of

it's abundancy, Citrine is relatively inexpensive, and can be offered

in both small and large pieces. Sometimes this yellow stone has been

misrepresented as the more expensive Yellow Topaz, under such names

as Madeira Topaz or Bahia Topaz. The name Citrine is derived from

the French word 'citron,' meaning lemon, referring to Citrine's

lemon color.

 

Citrine was not as popular as other quartz gemstones among the

ancient cultures. But it was used during the Hellenistic Age (323 -

380 b.c.e.) in Greece for jewelry pieces. And remained popular into

the first and second centuries in both Greece and Rome.

Medically, Citrine was carried as protection against plagues,

epidemics and venomous reptile and snake bites. Too, it was used as a

talisman for alchoholism, overindulgences, scandal, treachery and

evil thoughts.

 

Citrine has been assigned many properties for today's usage.

Because of its yellow color, the physical healing property of Citrine

will aid in all urinary troubles. It can reduce ulcer flair ups. It

is stated to be a good stone for tissue regeneration and detoxifying

all the bodies. It will aid in the promotion of good health to the

circulation, kidneys, heart, gallbladder, liver and instestines.

Due to the Citrine being a Quartz stone, it has the property of

bringing awareness, intuitiveness and enlightenment to the owner. Due

again to it's different color, of that of the evening sunset, healing

and balanced emotions are in store for the owner when Citrine is used

in meditations.

 

I use Citrine in my Readings to tell my clients that they need to

find information about a situation going on in their life. They need

detail and understanding to help them get through the ordeal or

handle the circumstances. Perhaps they will find the information

needed in a book, through a professional, looking within. Either way,

they need the information to guide them through their situation.

If you are in need of some guidance, meditate or concentrate on a

piece of Citrine. Listen to it's message. You will be guided to the

information you are in need of.
