Citrine necklace drop faceted - 925 silver

Citrine is showcased in this gemstone necklace as drop-shaped faceted stones in warm light yellow to rich orange-gold. The precise cut of the teardrop stones catches the light in vivid reflections, giving the necklace a warm, sunny radiance. Citrine is a yellow to golden-brown variety of the mineral quartz (SiO₂); its color is caused by traces of iron in the crystal lattice. Natural citrine forms when amethyst or smoky quartz is altered by geothermal heat deep within the Earth—a process that takes millions of years. Mohs hardness: 7, trigonal crystal system, vitreous luster. Its name is derived from the French "citron" (lemon). Known in the 17th century as "Scottish Topaz," it was used in Scotland for sword hilts and brooches. Many citrine stones available on the market are heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz—genuine natural citrine is rarer and usually exhibits paler, more uniform yellow tones. Locations: Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul), Madagascar, Spain.

Significance in crystal healing

In crystal healing, citrine is considered a stone of vitality, self-confidence, and inner strength. It is said to promote drive and ambition, help release negative thought patterns, and strengthen a positive outlook. In the tradition of crystal healing, it is regarded as one of the few stones that does not store negative energy. It is associated with the solar plexus chakra. These attributions are based on ancient tradition and are not scientifically proven. They are not a substitute for medical treatment.
