Citrine is quartz with a built-in hint of golden confidence.
 
At its core, Citrine is silicon dioxide, but it’s the presence of iron—and the heat it experiences—that creates its familiar yellow-to-amber color. It forms in major crystal regions like Brazil, Madagascar, Spain, Russia, and select areas of the United States. Because of its hardness and shine, it’s popular in both raw and jewelry form.
 
Geologically, Citrine is interesting because small differences in heat and pressure can shift its tone considerably. Some stones show light, airy yellows, while others develop deeper, warmer hues. Each reflects the specific conditions of its formation.
 
Citrine has been associated with success and abundance for centuries, which is how it picked up names like the Merchant’s Stone and Money Stone. People often keep it nearby when setting intentions, planning projects, or simply wanting a more optimistic mindset.
 
Metaphysically, Citrine resonates with the solar plexus chakra. It’s used to encourage personal confidence, support clarity, and help with reducing mental clutter. Many people find it helpful during times of growth and creative work.
 
Citrine brings a warm, steady presence—easy to appreciate whether you’re drawn to its meaning or its science.
