The golden citrine has been believed to bring good luck such as wealth and prosperity. In the West, it is said to bring prosperity in business, and in the East, it is said to bring financial luck.
As yellow has a shining, sunny color image, it is said to have the energy to give the owner positive power and brighten the spirit.

It is popular not only as a stone that brings happiness and hope, but also as a symbol of wealth and success. It is said to be effective in bringing prosperity to business, so it is recommended for those who run their own businesses or businesses.
Citrine also has other stone meanings such as friendship and sociability, and its bright appearance will also have a positive influence on interpersonal relationships.
Origin of the name
The name citrine comes from the French word "citron," which was given to it because of its resemblance to the citron, a citrus fruit native to India.
Its Japanese name is Kizuisho. Citrine refers to yellow or orange quartz, so the name was likely chosen based on the stone's appearance.
When you are looking for gemstones or power stones, you may come across products labeled as "citrine quartz." Citrine and citrine quartz refer to the same thing.
Quartz is a type of quartz. Quartz that is particularly impermeable, transparent, and has a clearly defined crystal shape is called quartz, but quartz is often referred to as quartz.
The Effects of Citrine
Citrine, which is believed to bring good luck, has two effects:
<Main effects of citrine>
- Increase your fortune
- Increase your luck in love
We will explain in detail the effects of citrine, which is said to increase not only financial luck but also love luck.
Increase your fortune
The main effect of citrine is to increase financial luck and savings.
Even if you receive money, if you spend more than you earn, you will end up in the negative. Citrine is said to be effective in increasing your savings luck, so it is recommended for people who are not good at saving money.
It also has the effect of purifying your financial luck, helping to ease financial worries and frustration.
It also has the effect of smoothing human relationships.
When doing business, it is inevitable to have relationships with people. Wearing citrine will improve your relationships with people, leading to prosperity in business and the success of your venture.
In order to utilize the effect of citrine in increasing your luck with money, it is important to try to share it with those around you. Don't hoard the wealth for yourself, but work hard and remember to make everyone happy.
Increase your luck in love
Citrine is said to have the power to attract love. It can be effective not only for new love, but also for reconciliation and friendship.
Why does citrine increase your luck in love? It is because it enhances the vitality of the owner and brings out their inner charm.
As mentioned above, citrine has the power to enhance communication skills with those around you. By brightening the owner's mind and facilitating communication, they will be blessed with good relationships.
This is recommended for when you lack self-confidence or can't take that next step.
Increase your luck. Recommended combinations with citrine
There are some gemstones that are compatible with citrine to improve your luck. The following three stones in particular can be expected to have a synergistic effect when combined with citrine.
<Stones that go well with citrine>
- Rutilated Quartz | Increases your luck with money
- Carnelian | Brings out courage
- Amethyst | Removes evil spirits
We will introduce the characteristics of each power stone and the effects of combining them with citrine.
Rutilated Quartz | Increases your luck with money
The first stone that goes well with citrine is rutilated quartz. The characteristic of rutilated quartz is that it contains golden needles (gold wires) inside the transparent quartz. In China, it has been used since ancient times as a talisman to increase financial luck.
By combining power stones that are strong for financial and career luck, you can expect a greater improvement in your financial luck than if you had each stone individually.
In addition, both stones will help you overcome obstacles, making them the perfect combination for talismans for those who run their own business or are thinking about expanding their business.
The combination of sparkling yellow citrine and rutilated quartz, a transparent stone with gold threads inside, is highly fashionable and is a popular combination when used in bracelets.
Carnelian | Brings out courage
Carnelian is a stone that has positive meanings such as "courage," "vitality," and "positivity."
It is said that combining carnelian, which has the effect of increasing vitality and motivation, with citrine, which has the effect of bringing prosperity to business, makes it easier for your actions to lead to results.
Furthermore, this combination is also effective in improving your luck in love.
I'm sure everyone has had the experience of not being able to honestly express their feelings to someone they like.
Combining citrine and carnelian will give you the courage to take that extra step when trying something new or when you need a push in love.
The bright orange color of carnelian goes perfectly with the yellow citrine in terms of design, giving a more glamorous impression than wearing citrine alone.

Amethyst | Removes evil spirits
Amethyst, which is in the same crystal group, is also a power stone that goes well with citrine. Amethyst is said to have a healing effect that relieves stress, and is also used to prevent insomnia.
When combined with citrine, which envelops negative emotions and transforms them into positive feelings, it will help stabilize your emotions and enable you to live with a positive attitude.
In addition, it is expected to ward off evil spirits and enhance the owner's potential. It is recommended for those who feel that they have been unlucky lately, or when they want to borrow the power of a power stone as a talisman for unlucky years.
Amethyst's various shades of purple add a mysterious, mature impression to the bright image of citrine.
How to Cleanse and Care for Citrine
To maintain its effectiveness, the stone needs to be cleansed periodically. Citrine can be cleansed in the following ways:
How to purify citrine
- Water | Place in a small amount of running water
- Quartz | Place it on top of a crystal cluster
- Moonlight | Expose yourself to moonlight on a full moon day or the day before or after.
- White sage | Light the white sage and pass it through the smoke several times.
You can also use sunlight to purify it. However, citrine has the tendency to fade if exposed to sunlight for a long time, so you need to be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight during purification or storage.
Although citrine is relatively hard and scratch-resistant among stones, it is not impact resistant. It can be scratched if it hits a gemstone such as a diamond, which is harder than citrine, so it should be stored in a separate container.
If you are concerned about oily stains, gently wash it with clean water. We recommend using a cotton swab or soft cloth. After washing, let it dry naturally out of direct sunlight.
Citrine is the November birthstone
Citrine is the birthstone for November along with topaz. Birthstones are said to bring good luck to people who have a stone associated with the month they were born. Although birthstones often differ from country to country, citrine and topaz are universally chosen as November birthstones.
Giving citrine to someone born in November carries the meaning of "wishing you happiness."
Citrine is also known as the stone given on the fifth anniversary of a marriage. It is said that giving citrine on this occasion represents the wish for a happy married life, bright as the sun.
