Citrine Meaning: The Crystal of Light and Abundance

Some crystals are for the hard seasons. Citrine is for remembering that not every season has to be hard. It is sunlight in stone form, and sometimes that is precisely the medicine.

What is citrine?

Citrine is a golden yellow variety of quartz, its warmth coming from traces of iron. It has been called the merchant’s stone for centuries, kept in tills and purses to invite prosperity, and it is one of the few crystals traditionally said to hold no negativity at all, only light.

What is citrine good for?

Citrine is known as the crystal of joy, optimism and abundance. It is the stone for the woman who has been running on empty and grey for a little too long, who wants to feel lifted rather than soothed, and who is ready to invite more in rather than only letting go.

People work with citrine to brighten low seasons, to support goals around prosperity and growth, and simply to bring a note of warmth into a home or workspace. Abundance, at its heart, is the belief that there is more good coming, and citrine is that belief made visible.

How to use citrine

Keep citrine somewhere you will see it in daylight- a desk, a kitchen windowsill- and let it be a small recurring prompt: name one good thing that is already here and one good thing you are inviting in. Gratitude and invitation, together, are the whole practice.

Why we paired citrine with Australian natives and honey
