Lustrous Healed Hiddenite Citrine Crystal (M11017) $62.00

Citrine is the beautiful cousin golden cousin of quartz. Most commonly citrine is found in Brazil or Africa, however these beautiful crystals come from Hiddenite, North Carolina. These mines are better known for their deposits of emeralds, hiddenite, garnets and many precious and semi-precious gemstones. Our Springfield trip turned up some of the beautiful citrine crystals found in this area. They have a beautiful gold color and some lightbrary formations. The crystals have a high degree of self-healing, with hundreds of small etched faces shimmering in the light. They are bright teachers, leading you to explore your inner depths to better understand yourself. They walk you through your anxieties and fears helping you to overcome them. With touches of golden healer their energy heals both the physical and emotional bodies. They help to reverse the damage of negative words and actions that leave you traumatized and shatter your self-confidence. Their bright energies bolster your confidence, helping you to tackle the challenges ahead of you. Their energy provides balance, picking you up when you are at a low point, or bringing you back to earth when you are feeling scattered. These companions are amazing healers of the spirit.

Majestic is the first word that comes to mind when I behold this spirit. Her lustrous surface highlights her cathedral like formations and beautiful self-healed markings around the shaft. These markings are highlighted by some iron staining. The veils and planes are aligned just right to catch the light, it looks like there is a light filled waterfall within her. The companions at her base have more defined cathedral markings, and transition to clear quartz with dense white phantoms. Although the bruise on her termination is noticeable, there is no denying she is a beautiful spirit.

The crystal measures 3" x 1.5" x 1.5" and weighs 3.6 oz.

Citrine is a phenomenal mineral, and one of my favorites. It is one of two minerals that will not accumulate negative energy, but somehow transmutes it into loving energy. I find this interesting as both minerals--citrine and kyanite--are symbolic of the Archangel Michael. It is also known as the "Merchant's Stone". It is quite helpful in acquiring and maintaining wealth.

It is an excellent stone for clearing the aura and for aligning the auric body with the physical structure, diminishing the "muddy" areas in both the aura and the physical body. It can act to stabilize the emotions, to dispel anger, and to encourage one to "look toward the sunrise", the freshness of beginnings and the reality of excellence. Personally, I use citrine in conjunction with labradorite to help keep panic/anxiety attacks at bay.

Place Citrine on your Solar plexus when tired or in need of an energy-boost, especially good for hands on healers to help themselves recuperate. It is one of the few crystals that do not require any cleansing. It can also be left in the sun for additional charging.
