NOVEMBER - CITRINE

 As mentioned earlier Tuesday, November’s birthstones are Topaz and Citrine. 

 

Also, the Mystic stone for November is Pearl.  Scorpio’s planetary stone is Garnet and its talisman is Amethyst.  Beryl is the Zodiac stone for November.

 

Today we will highlight Citrine.

 

Citrine has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale and is from the quartz family. The colour of citrine can vary from light yellow to a light orange-yellow. Most citrine on the market is heated amethyst which may have been treated naturally by Mother Nature or may have been treated by us humans.  Heated Amethyst, sold as citrine, can range in colour from dark yellow to a dark red-yellow.  Smokey quartz can also be treated to turn yellow. According to minerals.net, all heat-treated “citrine” has a red tint. Very light natural Citrine can be marketed and sold under the name of “Lemon Quartz”. 

 

True Citrine’s energies are associated with abundance and it is known as the success stone.  It is also associated with happiness. 

 

Citrine is used to increase and clarify personal power and energy.

 

Citrine is also used to remove toxins and is said to be helpful with overcoming addictions.

 

It should be noted that Citrine may intensify aggressiveness in some individuals.

 

Citrine is connected to the Solar Plexus chakra
