Citrine
Introduction
Citrine is a type of crystal, which is light yellow, medium to dark yellow quartz. Its main chemical component is silicon dioxide (SiO2). The yellow color of citrine is related to the presence of trace amounts of Fe2+, Fe3+, and structural water in its composition. Huangjing generally has high transparency.
Chemical composition
The chemical composition of Huangjing is silicon dioxide.
Crystallographic features
Triangular crystal system, commonly columnar crystals, with a pseudo hexagonal bipyramidal appearance, with developed transverse lines on the cylindrical surface and visible polygonal etching images.
Nature
- Optical properties: The color ranges from light yellow to dark yellow; Has a glassy luster, the fracture surface may have a greasy luster, and the transparency ranges from transparent to semi transparent; Partial visible cat eye effect and starlight effect (mostly reflected starlight); Belonging to non-homogeneous bodies and having a uniaxial crystal ortho optical property, it has a unique “bull’s eye” interference pattern, and the multi-color property varies with the depth of the body color, with the darker the color, the more obvious the multi-color property; No characteristic absorption spectrum, no fluorescence.
- Other properties: Crystals have piezoelectricity, and colorless, pure, and non bicrystal crystals can be used as piezoelectric quartz plates; Except for hydrofluoric acid, it is insoluble in other acids and soluble in molten sodium carbonate.
- Magnification examination: Common two-phase inclusions, healing cracks, and “phantom” or “zebra stripes” (alternating dark and light stripes in healing cracks).
- Transparency: Crystal has high transparency and can transmit all visible light, as well as a certain degree of transparency in the infrared and ultraviolet ranges; Colors, inclusions, cracks, etc. can reduce its transparency.
Identification
- Complete identification explanation: Huangjing is easily confused with various yellow gemstones, among which yellow sapphire and emerald are easier to identify due to their stronger luster and higher physical parameters. For crystal jewelry, as it does not have the appearance of the original crystal, it is necessary to distinguish between natural and synthetic based on color distribution and internal packaging characteristics, supplemented by infrared spectroscopy for accurate identification: natural crystals have uneven and natural color distribution due to changes in growth environment; Synthetic crystals have a bright and uniform color, and may exhibit a unique blue color that is not naturally present. By using observation tools, differences in package types can be clearly distinguished. Natural crystal package types are diverse, but there may also be growth defects and accompanying phenomena, while synthetic crystal package types are single. Infrared spectroscopy can effectively distinguish natural and synthetic crystals by utilizing the absorption spectra generated by mineral vibrational energy level transitions.
Effect and Function
- The main navel chakra has the function of relieving tension and helping the digestive system such as the gastrointestinal tract.
Summary
Any excess or deficiency of energy is not good for the body, so we need to understand what crystal energy we lack before deciding which crystal to match. Everyone lacks different energy, which needs to be calculated based on your date of birth. If you don’t know what energy you lack, you can leave me a message.

The Feng Shui Function of Amethyst
- Placing yellow crystals in conjunction with the placement of financial positions at home or in the office can greatly enhance financial luck.
- Yellow crystal can dispel external negative energy (such as road flushing, door to toilet, etc.), neutralize environmental pollution, and play a role in guarding homes and ensuring safety. Its strong focusing ability can amplify the energy of other crystals and adjust the spatial atmosphere in both directions.
- Yellow crystal combines the power of mind and body to establish and maintain a person’s spiritual vitality, teach them to be down-to-earth, and enhance their ability to implement.
