Crystal Citrine Ball

Product details

Citrine is a vibrant yellow to orange-brown variety of quartz, and it’s one of the most popular and widely used gemstones in the quartz family. It’s known for its warm and sunny color, which ranges from pale yellow to deep amber. Citrine’s name is derived from the French word “citron,” which means lemon, due to its lemon-like color.

Here are some key points about citrine:

1. Color and Clarity: Citrine’s color can vary from pale yellow to rich golden tones. It is usually transparent with a vitreous luster. Sometimes, citrine crystals can also exhibit natural color zoning, resulting in lighter and darker areas within the same stone.
2. Heat-Treated Amethyst: Natural citrine is relatively rare, and much of the citrine available on the market is actually heat-treated amethyst. Heating purple amethyst crystals at high temperatures transforms them into the yellow and orange shades associated with citrine. As a result, citrine and amethyst are closely related.
3. Metaphysical Properties: Citrine is often associated with positivity, abundance, and joy. It’s considered a stone of prosperity and manifestation. Many people believe that citrine can help attract wealth and success while promoting a positive outlook on life.
