Citrine necklace 8 mm - 925 gold-plated silver

Citrine is showcased in this gemstone necklace as an 8 mm bead strand in warm golden yellow to intense yellow-orange. The generous beads impressively highlight the luminous quality of the citrine – more expressive than the 2 mm version, more harmonious than the 10 mm necklace. The gold-plated magnetic ball clasp made of 925 silver is both an elegant detail and a convenient fastening mechanism. 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 heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz. Mohs hardness: 7, trigonal crystal system, vitreous luster. Its name is derived from the Latin "citrus" (lemon). Locations: Brazil, Madagascar, Spain, Russia, France.

Significance 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 moods and joie de vivre, strengthen self-confidence and willpower, and promote creativity and motivation. In the tradition of crystal healing, it is considered 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.
