Citrine

Imagination, said
Einstein, is more important than knowledge.
This stone is useful for helping you become aware of what you want to manifest.
Citrine supports you in identifying the issues you have around abundance and prosperity.
It is known as the “stone of success”; folklore says it encourages success and abundance, especially in business and trade. It is also a good stone for divination.
Citrine is a powerful stone that works mainly with the third chakra – the solar plexus (Manipura), stimulating personal power, confidence and will. Because of its "solar" energy, it is also often linked with the sacral chakra, raising creativity and energy levels.
Citrine is one of the few stones that disperses negative energy and never needs cleansing. It radiates a warm energy that encourages optimism.

Imagination, as Einstein said, is more important than knowledge.
Before wishes can be manifested, you need to determine what you want to create. Often, though, a person can find it hard to define or even identify what they want to create.
This stone is very useful for helping you become aware of what you want to manifest. Because it stimulates the third chakra, it can also support you in identifying the issues you may have around abundance and prosperity.
Knowledge refers to facts, conditions or principles that are already known, and is therefore rooted in the past. Through knowledge there can only be repetition, without creativity.
The creative forces of people and of all beings are rooted in imagination. Before anyone created the laser beam, the sonnet or the soufflé, they had to imagine it.
Imagination is the means by which a person turns toward the time stream of the future, opening themselves beyond what has been, into the dimension of what could be.
Yellow quartz stimulates the imagination through three gateways – the second, third and sixth chakras. Its vibrational resonance activates and harmonizes these three energy centers, all of which are needed for the process of creative imagination.
Gem-quality citrine is extremely rare. The finest quality comes from Brazil, Spain, Madagascar and the former USSR.
Mystical properties:
In ancient times, citrine was worn as protection against snake venom and evil thoughts. Citrine is known as the “stone of success”, because folklore says it encourages success and abundance, especially in business and trade.
Citrine is one of the few stones that disperses negative energy and never needs cleansing. It radiates a warm energy that encourages optimism. It attracts abundance and is known as the “merchant's stone” – it is good to place it by the cash register or wherever trade takes place. Citrine will not only help you acquire wealth, it will also make it easier to keep it. It improves the body's healing energy and opens the mind to intuition. It helps a person adjust and adapt to change, and brings confidence and security. The magnetic energy citrine radiates can strengthen speaking ability, which makes it the best stone for actors and public speakers.
It helps in acquiring wealth and in maintaining a state of wealth. Citrine is also useful for channeling creative energy into the physical body. For some it also helps in building self-esteem. This crystal is an invaluable helper for “dissolving” all emotions when it is placed on the solar plexus as a healing crystal. Citrine can also be useful against indecision, since it makes it easier to take important decisions, all other things being equal.
Healing properties:
Physically, citrine can support digestion, increase our capacity for visualization and balance the thyroid gland. It works in favor of the endocrine and the digestive systems – it cleanses, purifies and removes accumulated toxins. Citrine has the power to calm and to “draw out” stress in difficult situations. It reduces ulcer flare-ups and works well for detoxifying all organs.
Magical properties: Energy: Radiating Element: Fire
Powers: Anti-nightmare, Protection, Psychic energy
Citrine is worn at night, both to remove the fear of the dark and to prevent nightmares, and generally to ensure a good night's sleep.
Citrine can remove self-destructive behavior and tendencies, and can raise self-esteem. This stone should be used to bring you into alignment with your Higher Self and to protect your aura.
As a member of the quartz family, citrine can be used in the same way as any quartz crystal. The benefit is that its golden-yellow color adds the element of solar energy. Worn as jewelry, its bright flashes help lift the spirits if you are feeling slightly low.
Citrine is a good stone for divination (*with a crystal), in matters connected with money and other forms of prosperity.
Zodiac sign:
Traditional “Birthstone” for the month of November.
A stone of Gemini and Virgo, citrine symbolizes individuality and confidence. It brings determination.
Chakra classification:
Citrine is usually used when there is a block in creativity, an inability to solve problems, suppressed anger, insomnia, nightmares, stomach and digestive problems, obesity and a number of other issues connected with metabolism and our physical appearance.
Citrine is used to heal and balance the second – the sacral, navel chakra.
