THE STONES -  I have a friend that likes to say that rocks have the answer to everything.   I may not be completely convinced of that, but there is a lot of wisdom in the stones.  In this set of essays, I am going to delve into the symbology and metaphysics of the stones.  It is important to note that this is based on both research into other's work and my own experience.  Like most guides, use this as a starting point.  Your own instincts and preferences are always your best guide.  This information should not be taken as medical or psychological advice.  If you appreciate my efforts, you can support me by clicking on  By Me a Coffee and leaving me a tip.

Some of the sources I use for information on stones are:
The Book of Stones by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian
The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall
​Internet google searches for the stone
   The sites I usually use are: thecrystalcouncil.com, gia.edu, tinyrituals.com, and thespruce.com.

Yellow quartz mimics topaz
With the fire of the sun
Change of habits encourage joy
​And confidence all all in one

As we go into the dark time of the year in the northern hemisphere, we look towards the sunny stones to brighten our days.  One of the birthstones for November is citrine.  This is a yellow variety of quartz, silicon dioxide, with traces of iron.  Like most of the quartz family, citrine has a Mohs hardness of 7.  

Natural citrine is usually a pale yellow, like the one in the necklace above, but can range into the orange or brownish orange.  Citrine is often confused with topaz or yellow sapphire.  Natural citrine is found in Scotland, Spain, Madagascar, Russia, Brazil, and the US.  That said, most of the citrine on the market is heat treated amethyst and will usually have a brighter color than natural citrine, like the one below.

The word citrine comes from citron, the French word for lemon.  Like lemon, it brings the energy of the sun into the dark time of the year.  It is believed to encourage optimism and enhance moods and creativity.  It can help relieve depression and dispel destructive habits, bringing joy and energy into your life.  Some use citrine to increase clarity of thought, self esteem, and self confidence.

Citrine may be a good stone to help raise your vibration to a higher level.  It helps transmute negative energy into a more positive and useful form.  It enhances personal power and encourages healthy use of that power.  It can be used to promote balance on all levels.  Citrine is often used to open and balance the sacral chakra or the third eye chakra.  I use it as an aid for manifestation.

Citrine is a less expensive alternative to topaz for many purposes.  This beautiful stone is frequently set in silver or copper.  These and more gems can be found in
