Citrine is a quartz and obtains its color from traces of iron. Colors range from lemon yellow to golden brown and can be transparent. Citrine can be artificially created by heating amethyst or smoky quartz, though truly the results of this process should be called gold topaz.

It’s name comes from the Latin “citrus,” which means lemon. Used since ancient times, Caesar’s soldiers wore citrine on their chest because it was believed to have life-saving properties in battle. Today it can be found in Brazil, the United States, Russia, Madagascar, Spain and France.

Citrine is said to have a detoxifying effect on the metabolism and to strengthen the immune system. It promotes physical activity which improves digestion. The purer and more intense the color, the greater the stone’s healing properties.

Citrine is known as the stone of light, sun, and life. It symbolizes individuality and confidence. Citrine helps us to analyze events and take them in a positive direction. Harness and utilize your creative energy with Citrine. With zodiacal affinity with Virgo, Citrine is also an important stone for Gemini and Leo.

Consider Carnelian for Zest of Life

One of my personal favorites, Carnelian always makes me feel so good when I'm wearing it. Shown above is a copper ankle bracelet with natural carnelian.

Carnelian is a kind of quartz. Traces of iron give Carnelian its blood red color. Colors range from yellow, orange, red, brown and in between. It can be found in Brazil, Uruguay, India, South Africa, Australia, and the United States.

Carnelian is one of the oldest protective stone in history. The Egyptians carried it about their person as a source of energy and for renewal of vitality. In ancient Egypt it was placed in tombs as a magic armor for life after death. Carnelian is mentioned in the Bible as being used for ornamentation on breastplates for priests and soldiers.

The earth is often used as a symbol for fertility and Carnelian, in tune with the earth’s energy, strongly influences the reproductive organs. A good purifier for both the liver and the blood, it also stimulates good digestion.

Carnelian symbolizes activity and curiosity. It increases the wearer’s zest for life and improving motivation.
With zodiacal affinity with Taurus, Carnelian is also an important stone for Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Leo and Capricorn.
