Citrine

Citrine is a quartz stone that varies from a pale yellow colour to a honey shade.

Traces of iron cause the yellowish tones in the quartz. Since this is quite rare to happen naturally, most are heat-treated. Amethysts and Smoky Quartz are often times heat-treated to create Citrine.

Citrine is a happy gem! Can you tell? It provides joy and delight. It improves confidence and self-esteem. It is also said to stimulate the brain and strengthen intellect. When worn, it promotes motivation and creativity.

Citrine is known to be a good fortune gem, which assists in acquiring wealth and success.
