Opalized Citrine Tumbled Stones, 1 lb

The milky golden glow. A soft, opalescent finish that sets these apart from clear citrine tumbles.

Honesty twice over. Heat treated color and a look-descriptor name, both told plainly.

A full pound of the sun stone. Cunningham's Sun and Fire citrine, in working quantity from Brazil.

• Weight: approximately 1 lb per bag; origin: Brazil
• Stone: citrine quartz (color produced by standard heat treatment); opalized describes the milky sheen, not true opal
• Mixed sizes by weight; glow and depth vary piece to piece
• SKU: GTCITOB

Citrine is the sun carried in the pocket: Cunningham files it under the Sun and Fire, kept against nightmares and for protection, and modern practice has made it the great stone of success and new opportunities, the encourager of fresh starts. The treatment story changes none of that; the tradition attaches to the golden stone as worked and worn, which has been heat brightened for as long as the trade has existed. The milky opalized finish adds a gentler voice to the register, sunlight through morning fog rather than high noon, which suits beginnings especially: new studies, new relationships, new rooms. By the pound, it becomes working stock for abundance grids, pocket encouragement, and the bowl on the desk where the next chapter is being written.

1. Cleanse the bag on arrival with smoke, sound, or moonlight; skip long sun, which can fade treated color.
2. Carry a stone into new ventures: first days, interviews, fresh starts.
3. Anchor the success corner of a grid, or ring a candle working for new opportunities.
4. Keep a bowl where the work happens and let the glow do its quiet encouraging.

• Citrine Points, 1 kg Flat: the brighter cut of the same sun.
• New Beginnings Ritual Kit: the working these stones were made to sit beside.
• Pyrite Tumbled Stones, 1 lb: the prosperity companion by the pound.

Is the color natural?

Like nearly all commercial citrine, the golden color is produced by heat treatment of amethyst or pale quartz, an old standard practice we disclose proudly rather than gloss.

Is it really opalized?

The name describes the milky, opalescent look, not true opal formation. It is citrine quartz with an unusually soft glow, named for what the eye sees.

What is citrine kept for?

Success and new opportunities in modern practice, with Cunningham's Sun and Fire filing behind it, the classic stone of fresh starts.

How do I care for them?

Smoke, sound, or moonlight to cleanse; avoid long direct sun, which can fade treated color over time.
