Citrine and Mika Natural | Medium

For the person building something.

Citrine is quartz warmed to gold by traces of iron. Natural citrine is far rarer than most people realise — the bright orange stone sold everywhere is usually heat-treated amethyst. True citrine tends toward smoky honey and pale champagne, and the colour sits unevenly through the crystal rather than in a uniform band.

It's been called the merchant's stone for centuries, kept in tills and cash boxes on the belief it drew trade. Whether or not you hold with that, the association has stuck: citrine is the crystal of manifestation and momentum.

It's worked with when you want to attract rather than protect, to begin rather than settle. It sits with the solar plexus and sacral — the centres of personal power and creative drive.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

Traditionally kept where money moves. Practically, keep it where you work.
