Astrological Benefits of Citrine

Citrine is a form of silica mineral quartz which is generally found in a range of yellow hues. Quartz is the second most common mineral found in the Earth’s crust, and its varieties, such as amethyst, bloodstone, smoky, etc. are found everywhere. But citrine is different – it is considered to be quite rare when compared to the other varieties of quartz. When it comes to hardness, it ranks an impressive 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, because its constituent, silica, is pretty tough. Citrine is also the traditional gift for the 13th wedding anniversary. So, if you are nearing your 13th wedding anniversary, then buy citrine jewelry such as a citrine earring, citrine bracelet, or citrine necklace as a gift for your partner. A bright yellow or golden color citrine stone is considered to be the most suitable for astrological purposes. You can even consider wearing a natural citrine in a yellowish-orange color, without any sort of undesirable brownish tints if this is what your personal preference is. But be aware of treated citrine and the knockoffs – because most of the citrine sold in the market is nothing but heat-treated amethyst or quartz. After all, natural and authentic citrine is quite rare.
