Citrine is a variety of quartz, the colour ranges from golden yellow to burnt amber and sometimes even slightly green. It is often looked at as a crystal of money, however, it can attract good fortune into all areas of life, not just from a monetary perspective. Naturally occurring Citrine is quite rare, which is the result of natural heat and pressure applied to Amethyst over a very long period of time.  Natural Specimens are often more dull in colour like an opaque light yellow or brown. Both man heat-treated and natural Citrine hold immense power and energy.

The element associated with Citrine is fire. Like the sun, fire gives life to everything on earth. In Indian tradition, weddings take place in front of a fire. The fire acts as an all powerful witness to the vows, carrying their essence to the gods. It has been widely popular for thousands of years because of its rarity and also it’s connection to the element of ‘fire’, the sun and properties of prosperity and good luck.
