meaning & properties

The stone of joy and abundance.

Citrine properties

Citrine doesn’t wait around: it acts. It’s the stone of momentum, of “yes”, of fresh starts.

History & origin

Its name comes from the Latin citrus, for its lemon-gold colour. Known as the “merchant’s stone”, it was once tucked into the till to draw prosperity. Natural citrine is rare and prized.

Who it's for

For finding momentum again, daring a project, or inviting more abundance into your life.

Using it day to day

Set it on your workspace, keep it in a pocket on days you doubt yourself, or hold it while picturing a project close to your heart. What matters isn't the stone itself, but the attention it invites you to bring to yourself: a crystal is an intention you hold in your hand.

Cleansing & recharging

Cleanse it under running water for a few minutes or with smoke (sage, palo santo), then recharge it overnight under the full moon or on a quartz cluster.
