Amethyst and Citrine

Stone Property and Power Beliefs: 

Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz. Color can range from pale lilac to deep purple. Amethyst has a hexagonal crystal structure, meaning that its crystals have six sides. It is a popular gemstone used in jewelry and has been prized for its beauty for centuries. The name “amethyst” comes from the Greek word “amethystos,” which means “not drunken,” as it was believed to have the power to prevent intoxication. Amethyst is the birthstone for the month of February and is also associated with properties such as calmness, stability, emotional balance, spiritual growth, and mental clarity.

Citrine stone is believed associated with the sun's energy and is often used to promote spiritual growth and inner transformation. It is believed to help increase personal power and self-confidence and to attract abundance and prosperity into your life. 

Stone Cares: Citrine and Amethyst can be safely cleaned with warm soapy water. Ultrasonic cleaners are usually safe except in the rare instances where a stone is dyed or treated by fracture filling. Steam cleaning is not recommended.

Birthstone: If you were born in November, Citrine is your birthstone, while Amethyst is the official birthstone for February. This position enhances its significance as it is believed to be a powerful source of happiness, prosperity and personal success.
