Named for its citrus hue, Citrine carries a sunny, energizing charge said to sit in the solar plexus — the seat of confidence and personal power. It's one of the few crystals believed to never need cleansing, constantly generating and radiating its own bright energy.
Reached for when you need to:
- Fuel confidence, motivation, and creativity
- Attract abundance, prosperity, and success
- Shake off self-doubt and step into personal power
- Bring warmth and optimism to a heavy day
Often paired with Amethyst in the same piece for a grounding-yet-uplifting effect.
