Caring for your citrine
Like many quartz stones, citrine can fade with long hours of strong sun, so a windowsill in soft light or a selenite plate is a kinder place to refresh it. See how to cleanse and charge your crystals.
Pairing ideas
Citrine sits nicely beside amethyst for a balance of warm and calm, or beside clear quartz for a bright, focused corner. New to crystals? Start with choosing your first crystal by intention.
Crystals are companions for intention and reflection. They are not a replacement for professional care.
