Citrine
Citrine is a vibrant golden-yellow to orange variety of Quartz, often associated with warmth, abundance, and joy. Known as the Stone of Success and Prosperity, Citrine is believed to attract wealth, boost confidence, and uplift the spirit. Unlike most crystals, it does not absorb negative energy but instead transmutes it, making it a powerful tool for manifestation and positivity.

(Note: Citrine is one of the few crystals that does not require frequent cleansing due to its ability to transmute negative energy.)
Warnings/Precautions
• Heat-Treated vs. Natural Citrine – Many Citrine crystals on the market are heat-treated Amethyst, which still carries similar properties but with a more intense energy.
• Sunlight Sensitivity – Prolonged sun exposure may cause fading over time.
• Overstimulation – Citrine’s high energy may be overwhelming for some; grounding stones like Black Tourmaline can help balance it.
