A golden gem that carries the warmth of the sun, Citrine is known for its uplifting energy and connection to prosperity and self-confidence. Often seen as the gem of clarity and flow, it is ideal for those navigating career shifts, financial instability, or emotional stagnation.
Citrine is ruled by Jupiter (Guru) and is considered an Upratan (semi-precious substitute) for Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj). It is often recommended for those who seek the blessings of Jupiter but prefer a gentler, more accessible gem. Ideal for attracting clarity, confidence, and financial stability.
