The best Citrine Crystals are like the most beautiful sunrise, with the sun beaming golden rays of delight, glistening over the ocean. Life is beautiful when you have the power of the sun on your side.
Sunrises, like Citrine Crystals, remind us of how beautiful the world is, what we can be grateful for and the excitement of new beginnings.
Imagine capturing all that beauty forever in a single scintillating stone you can carry with you forever.
Don't believe me, take a look at any high-quality citrine crystal. These beautiful golden-coloured stones are highly prized in the jewellery industry for their dazzling hue.
Since ancient times, the stone has been prized for its brilliance and strength.
The Romans used the stone to create mosaics, jewellery and intaglio work. During the Art Deco period, citrines were set into almost every stunning jewellery piece made for Hollywood stars like Joan Crawford.
But colour and hue aside, citrine crystals also have a huge impact on the mind and body.
They can improve health, soothe the mind, and assist in creating a mindset for happiness and success.
Other talked about benefits among crystal lovers include increased creativity and imagination, positive energy, emotional healing, abundance and prosperity.
Let's learn more about this beautiful stone, which some refer to as the yellow stone or yellow crystal.
Let's take a look at the Citrine crystal meaning.
The term 'citrine' actually refers to the sunny yellow gold colour of the stone.
According to Wikipedia, the original reference was to the citron fruit that was also coloured a greenish-yellow.
Although the term is synonymous with jewellery, it can also be used to refer to birds and other things that have the same greenish-brown-yellow shade of stone.
Citrine is one of the most impressive crystals you can have, but the Citrine Geode Cave sits at the top of the list ;-)

The most famous jewellery made from citrines was probably made for the Luxembourg Royal family.
Although we don't know much about the actual piece, we do know that it contained some of the most beautiful and significant citrines available at the time.
When the Art Deco period hit, Cartier too started making jewellery with this radiant stone.
The legendary jeweller made a stunning citrine and diamond Art Deco tiara for King George VI coronation in 1937.
Another equally stunning tiara was also made by Queen Sikrit of Thailand, but it contained almost lemony-white citrines that resembled diamonds.
One of the most modern adaptations of citrines is the stunning tiara ordered by King Harald of Norway for his wife Queen Sonja in 1997 for her 60th birthday.
Unlike other tiaras, this one was a contemporary piece highlighting the citrines and accentuated with diamonds and gold.
Chakra healing is common with the beautiful Citrine crystals. Citrine brings a lot of positive benefits and helps align the physical and emotional energy levels.
As a result of Citrine being linked to the root chakra, sacral chakra and solar plexus chakra, it is said to help fuel the energy of those wearing it.
If you feel you are having energy blocks in the Citrine Chakra, you may find Citrine's power to be beneficial.
If you are working on manifesting your dreams, Citrine can help to boost your energy and internal resources towards this.
Your third eye chakra, when activated in combination with Citrine, helps you tap into your high consciousness and manifest your positive desires.
In terms of the heart chakra, Citrine is excellent at guarding against those who may look to break your heart.
Citrines are very popular at present. Current trends show demand leaning towards diamond and citrine combinations in contemporary styles. Yellow citrine continues to be one of the most popular stones set in jewellery.
As it is a beautiful neutral colour, the stone can easily be mounted in gold, silver or platinum to create breathtaking jewellery.
The two most common forms of citrine are natural citrines (genuine citrine) and heat-treated amethyst, which is baked to create the beautiful dark orange colours. It is this heat treatment that gives it the darker orange colour which many love.
If you are unsure about what citrine crystal is best for you, then ask us.
Citrine is a wonderful crystal and the feeling of being able to start over, the wonderful sunrise analogy and using it to attract wealth are fantastic benefits.
