Citrine is a golden variety of quartz, with colors from pale honey to deep amber. Its warm glow makes it a favorite for anyone who wants a little sunshine on a desk or altar.
What citrine is known for
In crystal traditions, citrine is linked with optimism, creativity and the solar plexus energy center. Many people also keep it as a reminder of their goals and the abundance they are working toward.
Simple ways to use citrine
- Keep a tumbled pocket stone in your bag as a cheerful reminder of an intention.
- Set a piece on your work desk beside your to do list.
- Hold it while you write down three things you are grateful for.
- Place it in a bright corner of your home where you start your day.
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.
