Citrine Varieties
Natural citrine
Natural citrine is a form
of quartz that features a combination of yellow, orange, and brown.
Heat-treated citrine
Heat-treated citrine is
heat-treated amethyst, a purple kind of quartz, therefore it is both rarer and
more expensive than the heat-treated variety. As the purple is heated, it
changes colours, becoming yellow, orange, and brown. Some people prefer citrine
that has been heated, while others believe the natural kind is more beneficial.
Smoky citrine
In this case, the
smokiness of the quartz is what gives the citrine its "smoky" name.
When trying to figure out things on a spiritual level, it's invaluable. By
doing so, you may be able to remove the mental barriers that are preventing
success from flooding into your life.

space in your home. At the heart of your home is Tai Qi, a symbol of good
health and happiness. The earthy tones of orange, brown, and yellow are
associated with this. Because of its central location, the Tai Qi affects all
other parts of your home and life. Consequently, any adjustments you make here
are likely to have far-reaching consequences. Citrine can be placed in the Tai
Qi area to increase the flow of positive energy and promote health and vitality
in the home.
Xun, the Area of Wealth, Must Be Activated

associated with good fortune, it makes sense that this gemstone would be placed
in the Xun sector of the feng shui bagua map. By standing at the threshold of
your home and peering inside, you may determine which area is most likely to
bring you financial success. Your financial security lies in the bottom left
corner. Place a piece of citrine here to attract financial success and

tandem with your growing sense of abundance.

FAQ
Where should I put citrine in my home?
The southeast or riches
corner is a popular spot for a citrine crystal. It can be found in a cash
register, on top of your financial records, or next to your desk. It is said
that a citrine put in the home's focal point will boost energy and health.
Is citrine solar-chargeable?
In order to preserve its
lustre, citrine should be kept out of direct sunlight. More than four hours in
direct sunlight can cause citrine to lose its characteristic yellow hue and
turn clear.
Can anyone tell me how to clean citrine?
It has been recommended
that citrine be washed in warm, soapy water to remove surface grime, per the
Gemological Institute of America. Since citrine melts at high temperatures, you
shouldn't use steam cleaning on it. If the stone hasn't been coloured or
fracture-filled, then using an ultrasonic cleaner on it might be fine.
