    Citrine – Known as the stone of abundance

    Known as the stone of abundance, the golden Citrine is said to inspire success, imagination, happiness, and confidence. Allow it's warm energy to encourage your inner creative mind, enhance individuality, and encourage self-expression. Citrine will help to bring you a "glass half full" mindset and assist you in going with the flow instead of hanging onto the past. Citrine is a powerful cleanser and regenerator. It doesn't hold onto negative energy, and therefore is one of the few gems that doesn't require cleansing. The Citrine can also be used in the cleansing of chakras, especially the Solar Plexus Chakra. This stone acts as a powerful magnet to invite rays of happiness into our lives and has the power to give joy to whoever holds it. Carry it in your pocket to attract good vibes, or keep it in the wealth corner of your home (the corner furthest left from the front door) to invite prosperity.

    5. GREEN CALCITE
