Benefits
Wear Citrine When You Want to:
- Unwind tension, especially in the stomach.
- Loosen patterns caused by stress and tension.
- Vitalize the digestive system.
- Relax an overly alert nervous system.
Citrine energy is known for three key benefits: releasing pain and tension, preparing a person to receive more yellow ray, and easing digestive system stress.
Releasing Pain and Tension
When you wear Citrine, its energy reaches into your body to massage it from the inside, easing tension and softening cramp-like pain. This occurs due to Citrine’s unwinding effect.
Unwinding also releases unwanted energies, hence the clearing benefit often attributed to the gem. This is one a reason we pair White Beryl with Citrine. White Beryl’s key benefit is clearing unwanted energy with the white light that it carries. As Citrine releases the energy, White Beryl disperses it, freeing the body of the pain and pressure it can cause. Another reason we add White Beryl is to boost the necklace’s benefits with numerology. We add twelve White Beryl to encourage the Citrine to work throughout your body and being.
The higher Citrine’s quality is, the higher its vibrations are, and the more easily it can reach deep into muscles and nerves to gently unwind them. Citrine’s energy traces tension to find its underlying cause. As it releases frozen energy, which is usually the result of trauma, it lifts the emotions and memories held within it, guiding them to their proper place of storage. This is not in the physical body, but in the emotional and causal bodies, where they can be neutralized, processed, and stored.
Citrine’s unwinding effect also untangles energies that contribute to nervous tension and loosens the holding patterns caused by trauma and extraordinary stress. If your nerves are stuck in fight-or-flight mode and unable to relax, wearing high-quality Citrine & White Beryl can access the source of tension, help release it, and help you process underlying causes.
Any other gems that you wear or apply at this time can then target these causes more effectively.
Preparing for the Yellow Color Ray
Without doubt, the yellow color ray is carried by Yellow Sapphire. So when you want to work with this healing, life-giving color ray directly, choose Yellow Sapphire & White Beryl or Yellow Sapphire Spray.
Citrine has a different purpose. It serves to call in the yellow ray and prepare your body to receive more of it. This is an important distinction.
You might think pairing Citrine with Yellow Sapphire in the same necklace would help you receive more yellow ray. But it doesn’t work that way. You can only receive or prepare to receive; you can’t do both at once. However, when you wear these gems in different necklaces, they can work separately, each offering its own unique benefits, without competition or discordance.
Citrine helps you more easily receive and accept the yellow ray, so that your sense of self-esteem, self-worth, and self-identity can be enhanced and clarified. You are prepared to step into greater self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-acceptance. Your ability to assume leadership of your own life improves.
If you find yourself in a leadership role, perhaps at work, and don’t feel ready for it, try wearing Citrine & White Beryl. As it prepares you to receive more yellow ray, your self-confidence will grow, and you’ll be able to assume your new role more gracefully.
As you’re able to call in more yellow ray (with Yellow Sapphire or on your own), your skin and digestive system can receive more life-giving energy, and you develop greater resilience to harmful electromagnetic radiation.
Citrine’s ability to call in the yellow color ray is determined by its color. The closer it is to a pure yellow hue, the more effectively it does this. Most Citrine is a honey or brownish yellow and therefore inferior for color ray work. Citrine that is a pale yellow is superior to a golden yellow, and a rich, true yellow like that found in a spectrum is best.
Easing Digestive System Stress
Day by day, your body brings in yellow color ray primarily through the stomach chakra, so it’s no wonder Citrine has a natural affinity with the digestive system.
To allow more yellow ray to be received, Citrine reaches deeply into the digestive system fabric to loosen tension where it originates emotionally and mentally. This can help alleviate abdominal pain, bloating, indigestion, and even nervous tension, all of which are also associated with imbalances in the yellow ray.
If your nervous system is constantly on alert, and your digestive system needs support, try Citrine & White Beryl to help you take a step on your healing journey.
Quality
Our Citrine is natural, unheated, and has a yellow hue. Our 6A material is flawless even under magnification and has a brilliant candescence.
The highest-quality Citrine usually comes in rondel form because it allows cutters to maximize the best portion of the source crystal. Citrine spheres of 5A or 6A quality are much rarer, because they require larger source crystals with consistent color and fine clarity throughout.
Color
Citrine tends to display zoning, which means its color is not evenly distributed throughout the bead. Part of it is yellow, part colorless. We may offer Citrine with zoning if the clarity is good enough. Gems with minor zoning are considered 3A color quality. Otherwise, color grading depends on saturation and hue. Some 4A beads may have very minor zoning if their color meets the parameters.
Clarity
Most Citrine has some degree of colorless cracks or clouding, so clarity is graded accordingly.
6A – No cracks or clouding under magnification.
5A – Cracks that are barely visible.
4A – Minor cracks or clouding.
3A – Cracks or clouding are apparent.
Cut
Citrine is available in chip, rondel, and sphere form, with the highest quality typically made into rondels. Rarely do you find Citrine spheres without cracks or other types of inclusions. Quality being equal, the difference between these shapes is the way the energy radiates from the gemstone and the consequential effects.
A gemstone chip has uneven surfaces, so when its energies radiate outward, they enter the aura in irregular patterns. The chip form causes Citrine’s unwinding motion to occur unevenly. While this may help break up accumulations of unwanted energy, it might also exacerbate tension and anxiousness in sensitive individuals.
Rondels and spheres send a gem’s energy evenly and predictably through the aura, so these forms of Citrine maximize its calming and unwinding benefits. The body trusts the energy delivered by gemstone spheres because it can moderate the flow if it’s too strong and redirect it where needed. The energies of these shapes are received as deeply into the body as is needed.
Since spheres radiate gemstone energies more evenly throughout the aura, they provide maximum therapeutic value. However, top-quality Citrine rondels still offer significant benefits and will be more effective than spheres of lesser quality.
How to Use
Wearing Citrine
Citrine is effective when it’s worn for specific reasons for short periods of time. Put the gems on when you feel tension, bloating, indigestion, or constipation, or have recently been criticized and your self-esteem has taken a blow. Then remove the necklace when these feelings have eased.
If you feel anxious before bed and wear Citrine & White Beryl to sleep, take it off in the morning. If there are days when you have to wear the gems all day, do so.
When wearing Citrine & White Beryl to calm yourself, look for its unwinding effect and pay attention to its rhythm. That too can be soothing. You may also notice a humming sound when you wear the gems. Every gemstone’s energy is comprised of light and sound, and in some gemstones, including Citrine, the sound quality is particularly strong. Though not everyone can hear it, it’s gratifying when you do.
Enhancing the Effectiveness of Other Healing Gemstones
As a therapeutic tool, Citrine & White Beryl paves the way for the energies of other healing gemstones. Let’s say you have a cough and your lungs are stressed because of it. Put on Citrine & White Beryl first and then add Harmony (Frosted Quartz & Clear Quartz). These are the vitalizing gemstones for the respiratory system. The Citrine & White Beryl can unwind some of the tense energy from the coughing, and then Harmony can reach more deeply into the lungs to vitalize them.
This can apply in other cases too. Let’s say you’re feeling emotionally vulnerable. You can put on our HeartSong formula to nourish your emotions, or you can start by wearing Citrine & White Beryl first. Then, when you put on HeartSong, its energies will be able to reach more deeply into your emotional body.
Necklace or Bracelet?
The benefits shared on this page require wearing a Citrine & White Beryl necklace, so that its healing energies can affect your entire body, plus your emotions, memory, and thoughts in a wholistic way.
A Citrine bracelet can give you only a slight nudge, while a full necklace provides whole-body support. You may prefer a Citrine bracelet when you want to combine it with other healing gemstone bracelets to make personalized bracelet formulas for yourself.
General Guidelines
Wearing therapeutic gemstone jewelry around your neck or on your wrist is by far the easiest way to enjoy its healing benefits. Therapeutic gemstones may also be applied on the body as a poultice or strung on a therapy wand and applied in the aura.

Citrine/white beryl is very relaxing, and I find it great for tense muscles in my head or legs or even the digestion region. It’s a very soothing necklace to wear or to sleep with.

When I opened the package and saw the necklace for the first time, it was breathtaking. It reminded me what the color yellow really is. The unwinding effect on me has a type of “dont worry be happy” hue. It helps me detect and move out lots of inner garbage. First it helped me see that I had an internalized belief that I WAS garbage!! This neckalce helped me turn that around and strengthen healthy power and self esteem in order to truly believe I could rise up to meet my own potential.

I love healing crystals

8 months ago I bought another Citrine-WB because it lit up in the same process where I was using Pink Sapphire-WB. This one is spheres and my other one is rounded chips that look like solid drops of sunlight. Even with WB I sometimes had to take a break from the chips design because it brought up lots of old junk and then I used other methods to resolve it. The sphere version got to work very deeply on the edge of the causation field and cleaned up these same patterns on a more permanent level. I also felt the cheerfulness of the yellow where with the chips I felt it in the unwinding effect. I have worn the spheres almost every day since I got them. The day just isnt as cheerful without them. Wearing both the Citrine spheres and my Pink Sapphire is happiness "squared" and thats a big deal for me since Ive had rough times and lots of ptsd/abuse/exhaustion etc.

The new 6A quality spheres are the most beautiful color citrine I have ever seen – the color of butternut squash =). The photos simply do not do show their exquisite personality. Their unwinding effect is deeply penetrating and soothing. My digestion feels so much lighter, easier and my self-confidence has grown into a quiet feeling of contentment.
