Citrine
Best overall, the merchant's stone
Citrine is the universal abundance stone, and its golden-yellow color carries the visual energy of sunlight, of gold, of receipt itself. Hold a Citrine point in your palm and notice the warmth. Crystal Bible author Judy Hall calls Citrine 'the merchant's stone' and recommends placing it in the cash drawer or wallet to attract income. In traditional crystal healing, Citrine works on the solar plexus chakra, which governs the willingness to receive. According to metaphysical tradition, abundance often stalls not at the wanting phase but at the receiving phase, many people are excellent at desiring and terrible at allowing what they desire to actually arrive. Citrine works on this receiving function specifically. In my practice, I recommend Citrine to clients in any season of expansion: new business, new home, new relationship, new creative project. Author Melody (Love Is in the Earth) describes Citrine as 'manifestation of joy and abundance.' Unique among healing stones, Citrine does not require cleansing, it transmutes rather than absorbs. The way this stone meets you is bright. Place in the wealth corner of your home (far back-left in Feng Shui).
