Citrine Bracelet Meaning: The Stone Most Often Bought for a Shop Counter
Citrine is yellow to brown quartz. As a citrine bracelet, natural citrine is uncommon — much of what is sold is heated amethyst, which is a legitimate trade practice but worth knowing before you pay a natural-citrine price.
What people associate with it
- Called the merchant's stone in older writing; the southeast of the Bagua governs wealth, and citrine is the stone most often placed there.
- Earth and Water in our system.
- Colour runs from pale lemon to deep amber. The pale end is the modern fashion; the deep end is the older one.

Care and cleansing

- Rinse and dry. Heated material can fade faster in strong sun than natural material.
- Do not leave it in a hot car. Heat is how the colour was made, and it can also take it out.
