Citrine Chip Bracelet on Elastic Cord

The heat-treatment truth, up front. Most commercial citrine is heat-treated quartz, usually amethyst brought to gold in the kiln, and this listing says so plainly instead of hoping you will not ask. The color is real and stable; the treatment is standard trade practice; now you know.

Indian origin. The chips come from India, one of the trade's great cutting and tumbling centers.

Honest weight, honest format. Sold by approximate weight, with chips varying in size and shape as chips do; the format that keeps real stone at pocket-change prices.

• Stone: citrine chips, heat-treated
• Origin: India
• Fit: elastic cord, one size fits most
• Sold by approximate weight, not stone size or count

Citrine wears the Sun's colors and the Sun's correspondences. Scott Cunningham files it as a projective stone of Sun and Fire, protective and bright, historically carried against nightmares and for clarity of mind. Judy Hall places it at the solar plexus, the seat of will and confidence in modern energy work. Its contemporary reputation as the manifesting and abundance stone is a modern chapter, and we label it as such; it has certainly become the stone shopkeepers and students reach for when new ventures need warmth under them.

As for the kiln: intention rides the wearer, not the treatment. A heat-brought gold carries a working exactly as far as the will wearing it, which is the only engine any stone has ever had. Wear it for the bright work, study, beginnings, ambition, and let the wrist do the remembering.

1. Cleanse it on arrival with incense smoke or moonlight; long direct sun can soften citrine's color, an irony the Sun's own stone asks us to respect.
2. Wear it for study sessions, new ventures, and the days that need brightness manufactured on purpose.
3. You might choose to thumb the chips when momentum flags, the wrist's own pep talk.
4. Remove it for showers and swimming; chips and elastic both prefer dry wear.
5. Re-dedicate it at new moons, the natural calendar for a new-beginnings stone.

Is this natural citrine?

It is heat-treated, as most commercial citrine is; the trade typically brings amethyst to gold in the kiln. We state it plainly because the practice is standard and the honesty should be too.

What is citrine used for?

Cunningham files it under Sun and Fire for protection and clear-headedness; Hall places it at the solar plexus. Its abundance-and-manifesting fame is modern practice, and we label it as such.

What does sold by weight mean?

Bracelets are made to an approximate stone weight rather than a fixed chip size or count, so each piece varies a little. It is the format that keeps the price this friendly.

Will sunlight hurt it?

Long direct sun can slowly soften citrine's gold. Cleanse by moonlight or smoke and store it out of the window, and the color keeps for years.

Will it fit my wrist?

The elastic cord fits most adult wrists comfortably in the one-size format.
