Citrine necklace 2 mm - 925 gold-plated silver

Citrine is showcased in this gemstone necklace as a finely strung 2 mm bead chain in a warm golden yellow. The particularly small beads rest around the neck like a fine ray of light – subtle, delicate, and full of sunny warmth. The gold-plated lobster clasp made of 925 sterling silver provides a warm finishing touch that perfectly matches the color of the citrine. Citrine is the yellow to golden-yellow variety of crystalline quartz (SiO₂); its color is created by traces of iron(III) ions in the crystal lattice. Natural citrine is comparatively rare – much of the citrine offered on the market is heated amethyst or smoky quartz. Mohs hardness: 7, trigonal crystal system, vitreous luster. Its name is derived from the Latin "citrus" or French "citron" (lemon). Deposits: Brazil, Madagascar, Spain, Russia, France.

Meaning in crystal healing

In crystal healing, citrine is considered a "bringer of light" and a stone of joy, energy, and inner strength. It is said to lift one's mood and zest for life, strengthen self-confidence and willpower, as well as promote creativity and motivation. In the tradition of crystal healing, it is regarded as one of the few stones that does not store negative energies. It is associated with the solar plexus chakra. These attributions are based on handed-down tradition and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
