Citrine

Citrine – Abundance, Light, and Clear Energy

Citrine is the crystal of abundance and inner wealth. It is considered an energetic magnet that attracts positivity, success, and joy of life. In crystal healing, it represents lightness, self-confidence, and trust in life. Real, untreated natural citrine – a warm, golden-yellow quartz with remarkable clarity and luminosity – is particularly valuable.

What is Citrine?

Citrine is a yellow to golden-brown variety of quartz (SiO₂). Its color comes from traces of iron in the crystal structure. Genuine natural citrine has become extremely rare – most citrines available commercially are heat-treated amethysts. At Witchlandia, we only offer natural, untreated citrine from Brazil – with fine transparency, luminous depth, and a warm, sunny yellow.

💡 Fun Fact: The world's largest faceted citrine weighs over 20,000 carats – more than 4 kilograms. A true powerhouse displayed at the Museum of Natural History in Washington.
