In healing place where desired or felt needed on the body or in your home, place of work or any space or place. For meditation a sphere is useful but any piece will be great.
Place a large piece of Citrine or a few smaller pieces in the wealth corner of your home or work or business (furthest left hand area from your front door please see page on Placement Of Crystals )
Place a piece of Citrine in your purse or wallet and cash box or till for wealth and abundance. Wearing a piece of citrine with a point facing downwards will bring the golden ray of spirit into the physical.

Cleansing or Clearing

Many say that Citrine never needs cleansing or clearing, but every now and then it may be nice to cleanse your crystal and recharge it. Giving a crystal that is used frequently or continually ‘time off’ so to speak to allow it to recharge just seems like a good idea.

Real or fake Citrine??

There’s much talk about whether Citrine that has been formed or ‘enhanced’ by heating Amethyst or Smokey quartz is fake or not.
Natural Citrine has more of an immediate wham effect and has a cleaner vibration and a more powerful energy.
Both are very effective and an excellent addition to your life. Natural Citrine from the Congo is considerably more expensive and much rarer, it is paler, usually smokey in appearance and a sort of honey champagne colour.
Enhanced Citrine can be bright yellow and/or brownish and/or orange with a white tip or bottom.
