Citrine – Sunstone for joy of life, clarity and inner strength
Split
For centuries, citrine has been a symbol of joie de vivre, optimism, and self-confidence. With its warm, sunny color, it brings light to everyday life and is a popular companion for those who value clarity and positive energy. In this article, you will learn more about the origin, effects, and meaning of this fascinating gemstone and discover selected pieces of jewelry from our collection.
What is citrine?
Citrine belongs to the quartz family and owes its color to traces of iron in the crystal. The color spectrum ranges from a delicate lemon yellow to a rich, golden amber hue. Many natural citrines originate from Brazil, Madagascar, or Russia. In addition, there are so-called "heated amethysts," which acquire their characteristic yellow color through targeted heating – also a common component of high-quality jewelry.
Meaning and impact
Citrine has been known as the "merchant's stone" since the Middle Ages. It is said to promote success, prosperity, and self-realization. In lithotherapy (crystal healing), it represents:
- Joy of life and lightness
- Mental clarity and decisiveness
- Creativity and inspiration
- Self-confidence and inner strength
Citrine is said to have a harmonizing effect on the solar plexus chakra – it is believed to help to release inner blockages and stabilize emotional balance.
Who is citrine suitable for?
Citrine jewelry is particularly suitable for people who approach life with a positive aura – or who wish for more of it. The gemstone can be supportive when it comes to developing new ideas, making decisions, or bringing more ease back into everyday life.
