Citrine is a variety of quartz, the colour being in the range from yellow to golden brown to burnt amber. It is one of the two minerals on the planet which does not hold & accumulate negative energy, but dissipates & transmutes it, working out problems on both the physical & subtle levels. It, hence, never needs clearing or cleansing. It has also been reported that citrine is one of the stones to be called the "merchant's stone"; placing a cluster or a crystal of citrine in ones cash box has produced more income for the merchant. It not only assists the merchant in acquiring wealth, but helps to maintain the state of wealth. This mineral is useful for balancing the yin-yang energy & for aligning the chakras with the etheral plane. It activates, opens, & energizes the navel & solar plexus chakras, directing, via personal power, creativity, & intelligent decisiveness, the energy necessary to enhance the physical body. It stimulates both mental focus & endurance. It emits an elevated energy which provides one with supplemental initiative coupled with emotional balance. It stimulates the intuitive self & promotes contact with the higher forces of intelligence. It also illuminates the energy of the root chakra, delivering both comfort & optimism. It can help one to dispense with the fundamental level of fear. It further promotes a radiance from within the self, culminating in a constant happy disposition. It brightens even the darkest corner of ones perceived reality, & helps one to "laugh without restraint". It is quite efficient in conveying, when necessary, information relative to the appropriate aspects of survival. It also allows for clarification of problems related to the realms of the intellect & emotions. It influences, in a positive manner, the areas of education, business pursuits, & interpersonal relationships. It is an excellent stone for smoothing family or group problems &, subsequently, producing cohesiveness within the associative members. It acts similarly to the cutting edge of a sword, penetrating problems & expediting solutions. Citrine, especially in the faceted form, stimulates the crown chakra, allowing for synthesis between the intellect & total perfection; it is, therefore, quite helpful in problem solving, for facilitating recognition of resolutions to mental conundrums, & for promoting mental awareness on a moment-to-moment basis. It is said to stimulate openness & to accelerate the wakening of the mind. It is an excellent stone for clearing the aura & for aligning the auric body with the physical structure, diminishing the "muddy" areas in both the aura & the physical body. It can act to stabilize the emotions, to dispel anger, & to encourage one to 'look toward the sunrise", the freshness of beginnings, & the reality of excellence. It is said to have been one of the stones used in the breastplate of the high priest. In addition, there is a formation of Citrine/Smokey Quartz (sometimes with "clear quartz") with clean definition between the colours, which has been found in Brail. This alliance of forces merges the energy of all three minerals & for a dynamic healing stone. The citrine acts to cleanse the energies of the smokey & "clear" quartz, while the smokey quartz provides grounding for all endeavors. The faceted form provides a distinct & bright energy for application to all aspects, combining the singular energies of the three minerals to provide an energy greater than the sum. It can aid in digestion, can assist in the treatment of digestive disorders, & can promoted the circulation of the blood. It has been used in the treatment of degenerative disorders & to facilitate the diminishment of growths. It has also been used to increase visual abilities, to balance the thyroid, & to active the thymus. Vibrates to the number 6.
