Citrine, like all other natural stones, is thought to have certain powers that work on a material and spiritual level to help you obtain, and keep, certain traits. Citrine is traditionally associated with wealth, making it one of the best crystal to wear or have in your purse or wallet when you want to boost your good fortune luck.
Citrine is a quartz stone, with an orange appearance that is derived from small amounts of iron that were trapped within the stone during its formation period. Citrines can be either cloudy, with a darker orange color, or they can be clear like a quartz stone. The type of stone that you choose should reflect your personal tastes and what you are using it for.
For instance, if you are going to use your citrine for display, then you will most likely want a large, clear stone. You can easily purchase citrine that is still in its natural form, with several points formed within one main quartz. Some people recommend placing some small chips of citrine in the wallet or wearing a citrine bracelet, pendant or necklace. This is said to help keep the money that you have, so that you will never run out of money.
Since citrine is a natural stone, it can be expensive, especially when it is set in fine jewelry. Uncut or rough natural citrine is much less expensive, and can make a great display in your office. In fact, some people recommend that businessmen place a large cluster of citrine in one corner of the office, to attract customers and wealth.
Often, feng shui masters recommend that the citrine stone should be displayed in the south east corner of your home or office to have best results. Although you may think that a citrine stone would be an odd decoration, these crystals are naturally impressive and can easily fit in with your dcor. If you want, you can even display the citrine out of sight, although the stone is easily admired when showcased as a centerpiece.
You can also purchase citrine that has already been carved into beautiful designs, such as a toad, a flower, or small polished stone. These types of decorations are easily incorporated into your office, so that you will feel the wonderful, wealth bringing energy of the stone without having to worry about buying a large expensive piece.
