Citrine

Citrine is basically the happy virus of crystals. It is known for its bright cheerful color, which tends to be associated with happiness and good vibes. Citrine’s history goes as far back as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. All of these groups of people used citrine for its powerful spiritual powers. The Egyptians used it as the main gemstone to adorn their talismans while the Roman priest wore them as jewelry to keep them protected. So although citrine is now known to be great for its positive energy it was used in the past to ward off negativity. 

This stone is a bright yellow and sometimes a more golden brown color towards the tips and a white, almost clear color towards the base of it. This color comes from harboring natural impurities that dye the stone naturally. Citrine can also have its color artificially altered by heat treatments, creating what they call “burnt amethyst”. It is another member of the quartz family and is very closely related to amethyst, but considerably less common. But that doesn’t make it rare; in fact it can be found in multiple states in the United States, Europe, Africa, South America, and even Russia. Typically it can be found in granite and other igneous rock formations. 

Spiritually, citrine is a very powerful stone. It has many ties to helping with mental ailments such as stress and anxiety. As mentioned earlier, it is great for warding off negativity and promoting positive energy and happiness. It is a great stone for overcoming fear and preparing yourself for the future. This can also help with controlling anger and help combat bad habits. It is a great stone for helping to promote positivity, energy, and creativity. This is a stone that attracts healthy friendships and life relationships.

Beyond its spiritual powers, citrine is thought to help an individual's physical body as well. It aids in preventing diseases linked to the reproductive system, digestive system, and kidney.
