Most crystal lovers are familiar with amethyst’s cool, calm and collected energy, but how well do you know her fiery sister citrine? When amethyst in the earth’s crust is affected by the intense heat coming up from the core, not only does its vibration change, but its color too—from cool purple to warm gold.
For many, citrine’s golden-yellow hue is synonymous with joy. It connects with solar energy, and its fire encourages fun, happiness, action and new beginnings. Connecting with the solar plexus chakra, it boosts our confidence, self-worth, will power and ability to manifest our desires. Citrine inspires us to shun negativity, increase our personal power and keep control over our emotions. It’s especially known as an effective stone for attracting wealth and prosperity.
