Citrine Quartz Point Gold Plated Pendant

Citrine is a golden-yellow variety of quartz traditionally associated with abundance, confidence, and good fortune. This Citrine Quartz Point Gold Plated Pendant takes a natural citrine point and edges it in gold plating, so the raw crystal wears as a bold, sunny focal piece on its own or layered with other necklaces.

Quick facts

Meaning & history

Citrine has long been nicknamed the Merchant's Stone, worn in tradition by shopkeepers who hoped to invite prosperity into a business. Today it's a favorite in manifestation and abundance work, worn as a sunny reminder to stay open to opportunity, and often kept close for good luck. Worth knowing: most commercial citrine, including much of what's on the market today, is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz, since natural yellow citrine is comparatively rare — still genuine quartz, just enhanced for color.

Because this pendant uses a raw, natural point, no two are identical — color depth, clarity, and the gold edging vary slightly piece to piece.

A smaller, more polished option is the Citrine Tumbled Stone Pendant, and for a fully raw alternative there's the Citrine Rough Pendant.

How to wear it

This pendant is designed to hang on a chain of your choice (sold separately), so you can pick a length and metal tone that suits how you like to layer jewelry. Many people wear it daily as a confidence piece, slipping it under a collar for work or over a sweater as a statement layer. Keep it away from constant friction to help the gold plating last.

Care & cleansing

Citrine is quartz, so it's naturally hard (Mohs 7) and tolerates a quick rinse under lukewarm water followed by a gentle pat dry. Avoid long soaks, ultrasonic cleaners, and harsh chemicals, which can dull the gold plating. Store it separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratches, and keep it out of direct, prolonged sunlight — like most colored quartz, citrine can fade with extended sun exposure.

Frequently asked questions

Is this natural citrine or lab-created?
The point is natural citrine quartz. Most commercial citrine is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz enhanced for its golden color; it remains genuine quartz either way.

Does the pendant come with a chain?
No, the chain is sold separately, so you can choose the length and finish you prefer.

Will my pendant look exactly like the photo?
Close, but not identical. Each point is natural, so size, clarity, and the gold edging vary slightly piece to piece.

Is citrine safe to wear every day?
Yes, citrine is a hard, durable quartz well suited to daily wear. Just avoid harsh chemicals and knocks against the plating.

What does citrine mean in crystal tradition?
Citrine is traditionally linked to abundance, confidence, and positivity, and associated with the solar plexus chakra. These are traditional, symbolic associations, not medical claims.

Is this a health or medical product?
No. This pendant is a decorative and symbolic jewelry piece, not a health product or medical device.
