Citrine Heart Pendant
Citrine is a golden-yellow variety of quartz, traditionally associated with abundance, optimism, and confidence. Most citrine on the market today, including this piece, is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz, which shifts purple or brown tones into citrine's honey-gold color. This heart pendant is cut from a single 20 x 20 x 6mm stone and polished into a smooth heart, ready for a chain.

Meaning & history
In crystal tradition, citrine is known as the sunny stone of abundance and optimism — sometimes called the merchant's stone for its long association with prosperity and trade. It's most often linked to the solar plexus chakra, the seat of confidence and personal will, though a heart-shaped piece like this one is also worn as a gentle nod to the heart chakra and open-hearted warmth. Citrine shows up often in manifestation and abundance practices and is a favorite for anyone drawn to good luck traditions. For more shapes in the same warm tone, browse our full citrine collection.
How to wear it
This pendant comes without a chain, so pair it with whatever length and metal tone you like — gold-tone or silver-tone both work against citrine's warm color. As a natural stone, expect gentle variation in tone from the photo, which is part of what makes it one of a kind. Wear it layered or solo, close to the heart.
Care & cleansing
Citrine is quartz, so it's naturally durable at Mohs 7 — but the setting is metal, so keep it out of water when you can to protect the finish. A quick rinse under lukewarm water and a wipe with a soft, dry cloth is enough; skip long soaks, steam, and ultrasonic cleaners, and keep it away from salt, which can dull a treated stone's surface over time.
