Citrine
Citrine is a transparent yellow variety of quartz crystal that is valued as much for its warm color as for its rarity. Because of its rarity and delicacy of color, it has long been a valuable gemstone. During the Middle Ages, citrine was thought to carry the energy of the sun's rays, and thus it was used as a remedy for people whose energy and moods became depressed during the long winter months.
Citrine's wide range of colors enables it to help balance many different areas of the physical and subtle bodies. The deep orange-brown varieties help to energize the base chakra, and have a gentle grounding effect. It works well at the sacral chakra, helping the body to release stress and tension and enjoy life more. At the solar plexus, it balances the digestive and nervous systems and brings clarity and focus to the mind. It is gently expansive, relaxing and comforting, increasing self-confidence and personal power. This stone also relates to the spiritual energies above the crown of the head, bringin higher levels of wisdom and knowledge. As a grounding stone, citrine helps integrate these levels of intuition into everyday life.
