Citrine is a radiant golden variety of quartz, known as the stone of sunshine, joy, and abundance. Metaphysically, it’s considered a powerful energy-clearing and purifying crystal, said to absorb, transmute, and ground negative energy on every level, which is why many people believe it never needs cleansing. It’s believed to help shift old patterns of negativity, reverse self-destructive habits, and bring emotional balance, along with a sense of inner calm, joy, and a little everyday magic.

Citrine is also famous as the “Merchant’s Stone” and is one of the most popular crystals for attracting abundance, especially when placed in the Feng Shui wealth corner of a home or room, which is the far left back corner as you look in from the doorway. It’s associated with the solar plexus and sacral chakras, and you know my favorite is the solar plexus, so I’m a little biased! It supports confidence, willpower, creativity, and joy. I love keeping a piece on my desk, keeping one next to my bed, or holding it during meditation as a bright reminder to stay open, positive, and motivated.

As a November birthstone, it also makes a thoughtful gift. This is truly a happy little stone with loads of sunshine energy!
