Citrine is a silicon dioxide mineral, a member of the Quartz group with a hexagonal crystal system and a hardness of 7. Its yellow pigmentation is derived from iron. The name Citrine comes from the French word citron, meaning lemon. Citrine deposits have been found in Brazil, Africa, Madagascar, Spain, Russia, France, Scotland and the USA.
Citrine opens the inner doors to increased clarity of thought, enhanced creativity and magnified powers of will and manifestation. It is one of the premier stones for the second chakra and is capable of awakening the powers of creative imagination. It helps one turn toward the time stream from the future, opening the self beyond what has been into the realm of what can be. Citrine, in both natural and heated forms, stimulates imagination through three portals - the second, third and sixth chakras. The vibratory resonance of Citrine activates and harmonizes these energy centres, all of which are necessary to the process of creative imagination. Citrine activates the thinking process and enhances mental clarity, as well as the visionary function through which inner images appear. Through the second chakra, Citrine stimulates the creative function, the wellspring from which new potentials are born. Through the third chakra, Citrine generates the human dynamo of personal will."
