Citrine: a powerful transformation
Citrine is a gemstone known for its cleansing and restorative properties. Burnt citrine is a variety produced by heating amethyst or smoky quartz, adding an extra dimension to the stone's spiritual meaning.
Protection and purification - Citrine
Like regular citrine, burnt citrine is associated with absorbing and transforming negative energy. The crystal protects and cleanses the aura and enhances concentration.
Self-confidence and courage
Burnt citrine is often associated with the solar plexus chakra, which represents personal power and self-confidence. The stone helps open and balance this energy center, allowing one to experience greater self-assurance, courage, and creativity.
Abundance and prosperity
Burnt citrine is also used to aid in manifesting abundance and prosperity. It is considered a stone of abundance and can help remove blockages that prevent us from receiving abundance on all levels—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Optimism and joy
On a spiritual level, burnt citrine is associated with promoting optimism, joy, and a positive attitude towards life. It can help transform negative thoughts and emotions into positive and constructive energy. It is also used in meditation, as it can improve concentration and focus and aid in reaching a deeper state of consciousness.
Natural Citrine vs. Roasted
Natural citrine is a variety of the mineral quartz that is naturally yellow to orange in color. However, citrine can also be produced by heating amethyst, which changes the color from purple to yellow or orange-brown. This is called "burnt citrine" and is a common method of producing citrine for commercial use.
The main difference between natural citrine and burnt citrine is that the former occurs naturally, while the latter is produced by human intervention. Natural citrine also typically has a brighter color and fewer inclusions than burnt citrine. Burnt citrine can sometimes contain small traces of amethyst-like purple, while natural citrine always has a pure yellow or orange color. Generally, unprocessed citrine is considered more valuable and rarer than burnt citrine, and its properties are considered less potent.
Citrine - transforms negative energy
In short, burnt citrine is a powerful stone (less powerful than its natural counterpart) that can help us reach our full potential and connect with our inner strength and wisdom. It transforms negative energy and helps us manifest abundance and prosperity. Moreover, it promotes optimism and joy, and increases our self-confidence and courage.
