CITRINE: Abundance - Luck - Creativity
Citrine can invite sunshine by connecting you with your inner fire to achieve goals, powers of creativity and optimism. Often associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, Citrine is said to be a stone that cannot hold negative energy. It is believed to balance and enhance positive energy. Also known as the Success Stone, it can be a helpful totem to increase wealth. Much of the Citrine in circulation today including this item and other Citrine from Brazil, were originally Amethyst that have been heated in kilns, which mimics and speeds up the naturally occurring process that geo-thermal heat hadn't yet had a chance to do which is to give these gemstones their beautiful range of amber colors. The heating process does not alter the molecular structure of the stone.

Where does your Citrine come from?
Our Citrine is sourced from Brazil, one of the world's most respected sources of quartz crystals.
We work directly with trusted Brazilian suppliers and carefully select pieces for their quality, color, and craftsmanship. Our long-standing relationships allow us to offer exceptional Brazilian Citrine piece that will elevate your home decor.
Is your Citrine natural or heat-treated?
At Brazil Gems®, we clearly identify our Citrine so you know exactly what you're purchasing.
Most of the Citrine available on today's market, including much of the material mined in Brazil, is created by heating natural Amethyst. This process brings out the beautiful golden-yellow to amber colors that customers associate with Citrine.
Heat treatment does not make the crystal fake. It remains a genuine quartz crystal formed by nature, with only its color altered through heat. Whenever applicable, we disclose whether a piece is natural Citrine or heat-treated Citrine in the product description.
Can the bases be removed from the stone?
In most table styles, yes. But look for specific details on the disclaimer for each item as they are custom made bases built around the shape of the stone.
How are crystals made into various shapes?
Skilled artisans in Brazil cut rough crystals with diamond tools, then carefully grind, shape, sand, and polish each piece by hand. This process reveals the stone’s natural color and patterns while creating hearts, animals, spheres, and other decorative shapes. Because every crystal is naturally unique, no two finished pieces are exactly alike.
