Citrine

Citrine is a yellow variety of quartz. Quartz is a mineral consisting of silicon and oxygen. It is a very common stone as it can be found at the Earth's surface. Quartz can be found in almost any colour. Citrine is a yellow form of quartz. It was discovered in Greece around 300-150 BC and was mainly used for decorative purposes.

Citrine has been known to attract wealth, prosperity, and abundance. This gemstone is related to the Solar Plexus Chakra, yellow, which is located in abdomen area between the belly button and the breastbone. The main focus of the solar plexus chakra is all about self-confidence and feeling powerful. The energy inside of this area is very important as it reflects our entire mood. Our moods can affect not only our spiritual and emotional health, but our physical health too.

How to balance your solar plexus chakra: Yoga! Poses such as warrior, sun salutations, and boat pose are all great for opening up and clearing your chakra.

Keeping a piece if citrine on you or around your home or property is a small price to pay for potentially big rewards! As this stone was carried by many merchants in ancient times, they believed this stone would bring wealth and good luck to them. Times were simpler back then, so noticing smaller experiences in life were a bit easier than it can be now. Keep a gemstone close to places with links to making money, such as an office, where you charge your cell phone, or just simply in your pocket! I don't know about you, but I could sure use more money and a bit more success in my life! Who am I kidding, we all can!

Citrine is often referred to as the "Sun Stone" because of its yellow hue. The Sun is very powerful, but so are you. If you are looking for a boost in your life, try out this sunny stone. You may notice you're a bit more optimistic, which can turn into more confidence...talk about abundance! Higher energy is also a benefit from wearing or having this stone in special places, which can lead to more focus, which, you guessed it, more success and money!

I hope this helped you see the beauty in such a powerful and bright stone. I know I will be trying out these tips and I hope they work for you too! Cheers to love and success!
