How to Choose Citrine

Start with what you want it for. For money and business, set a raw chunk or a point by the register, in a cash box, or in the far left corner of a room, the wealth corner in feng shui. For confidence, wear a bracelet or carry a tumbled stone. For a grid or a prosperity jar, a pound of tumbled stones gives you plenty.

Choose natural citrine if you want the stone as it formed, and heat-treated citrine if you want the deep gold color at a lower price. To tell them apart, look at the color and the base. Natural citrine is pale to honey yellow and even throughout. Heat-treated points and druse are deep orange at the tips and white or clear at the base, where the amethyst they came from was paler.

Citrine is a 7 on the Mohs scale, so it handles daily wear. Keep it out of long, direct sun, which can fade its color, and wipe it with a soft cloth.
