Citrine for Wealth: Complete Guide to the Merchant's Stone for Abundance and Prosperity
By Nicole, Founder of Mystic Ryst
Citrine is known as the "Merchant's Stone" and the "Success Stone" for good reason—it's the most powerful crystal for attracting wealth, abundance, and financial success. This golden yellow stone carries the energy of the sun itself, radiating warmth, optimism, and prosperity. Unlike other abundance stones that work slowly, citrine is known for bringing fast results and unexpected windfalls.
Whether you're building a business, seeking a raise, attracting new income streams, or simply want to shift from scarcity to abundance consciousness, citrine is your golden ticket. This is your complete guide to using citrine for wealth and prosperity.

Cleansing and Charging Citrine
Important Note About Citrine
Citrine is one of the few crystals that doesn't need frequent cleansing because:

- It transmutes lower vibrations automatically
However, you can still cleanse it occasionally:
Safe Cleansing Methods
- Running water: Brief rinse (citrine is water-safe)
- Smoke: Sage, palo santo, or cinnamon
- Sound: Singing bowl or bell
- Moonlight: Any moon phase
- Selenite: Place on selenite plate
Avoid:
- Prolonged sunlight: Can fade citrine's color over time
- Salt: Not necessary and can be harsh
Charging for Wealth Work

Real vs. Fake Citrine
How to Identify Real Citrine
- Natural citrine: Pale yellow, smoky inclusions, expensive
