Citrine Gravel

Description

Citrine is a transparent, yellow variety of Quartz that ranges in color from pale to golden yellow, honey, or almost brown and may contain rainbow or sparkle inclusions. The name comes from the French word citron, meaning “lemon”. In the days before modern gemology, its tawny color caused it to be confused with topaz. Today, its attractive color plus the durability and affordability it shares with most other quartzes makes it the top-selling yellow-to-orange gem.

Citrine has many benefits. It is said to be a powerful cleanser and regenerator. It carries the power of the sun and is therefore energizing and life-giving. Citrine is also believed to help with digestion and metabolism. Natural Citrine is beneficial in eliminating infections of the kidney and bladder and in the treatment of bedwetting, particularly in young adults. As an elixir, Citrine relieves menstrual and menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, hormone imbalance, and the alleviation of fatigue.
