Beware the 'fake Citrine' / Burnt Amethyst :)

on Sun 30 of Aug., 2009 19:53 EDT, by PixieCrystals

Hi there

It's only my opinion, but I find the 'fake Citrine' no good for healing a Solar Plexus, or anthing! I feel everyone who wants to should at least know this: alot of 'Citrine' (the bright Orange stuff instead of light yellow) is in fact Amethyst which has been put through an Oven! evil

I Love Natural Citrine, which has spent thousands of years growing patiently
using ingredients for Clear Quartz (Silica diOxide) plus a twinge of heat and Iron (more often red/orange) to give it a lovely rare Yellow, like the colour of good White Wine. However it is rarer and more expensive that the purple Quartz Amethyst, and so lots of Amethyst gets smashed up and burnt and sold as a Yellow healing stone! eek

Very Zen...

Natural Citrine is a perfect Balancer of the Solar plexus chakra, and can help to have a strong sense of Self-Worth, Self-Belief, Confidence, sensitive leadership qualities, a balanced ego and very energising Action! It is all about the Sun Yang Male Solar energies...

There is of course room for an onging debate regarding the actual molecular differences, (btween Nat. Cit and burnt Ame,) but for me, Energy is all about Intention, and growing in a particular way for several thousands of years brings about a strong energy and Dynamic Intention. Poor burnt Amethysts! -x-

Much Love and hope I havent broken anyone's Citrine crystal hopes + dreams -x- wink

+ : A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in every object returned.
- : A leading minus sign indicates that this word must not be present in any row returned.
By default (when neither plus nor minus is specified) the word is optional, but the object that contain it will be rated higher.
< > : These two operators are used to change a word's contribution to the relevance value that is assigned to a row.
( ) : Parentheses are used to group words into subexpressions.
~ : A leading tilde acts as a negation operator, causing the word's contribution to the object relevance to be negative. It's useful for marking noise words. An object that contains such a word will be rated lower than others, but will not be excluded altogether, as it would be with the - operator.
* : An asterisk is the truncation operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word, not prepended.
" : The phrase, that is enclosed in double quotes ", matches only objects that contain this phrase literally, as it was typed.
