Today my message is from a particular crystal that I keep next to my bed. It is a very, very fancy citrine from deep down in the earth. It has smoky phantoms, and sparkles with rainbows.
The first message from my citrine crystal is this: Please explain to them about citrine that is really heated amethyst. So here goes. Yes, amethyst and citrine are both quartz with color. Citrine is essentially amethyst that is naturally irradiated in the earth, causing it to change color. There are many amethyst geodes coming out of the earth, and some miners and dealers take the amethyst after it has been mined, and heat it in order to deliver this orange citrine color. Some people want to stick with “natural and organic” and definitely such citrine has been treated by man.
I’m interested to know what my natural citrine has to say about this, and this is what she says: If it does the job, then go for it. Once crystals have been mined, they are already “not natural.” They get extracted from their place in the earth and then, go into a chemical bath to clean them. Some of them get polished, to reveal the underlying beauty that is camouflaged by an opaque film over the crystal. What difference does it make if they are heated as well in a manner that mimics the natural process in the earth? Yes, some heated crystals look burnt, and FEEL burnt, and of course, that’s no good at all — but if the crystal looks and feels good, well then, it looks and feels good, what more do you want? On a similar, related note, the same goes for agate that has been dyed — if the result is pleasing, then consider it the same as a woman wearing make-up — an enhancement of natural beauty. We love our clothes and hairdos, and jewelery, and you know what? (Some) crystals like to dress up too!!! I do want to add, that this has not been MY personal attitude, so this is enlightening and expanding for me too.
The second message from my citrine, is that Citrine in general wants to be considered “the marriage crystal!” That’s a WOW! What could that mean? Well, in the tradition western marriage ceremony we say: “to be my wedded wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance” and that exactly describes all the ways that citrine can support us. Let’s take a closer look:
“To have and to hold”: Yes, that’s what we do when we collect crystals — we want to have them, and we especially want to hold them. In this “holding” lies the magic that we seek. The point is that citrine will hold us too — and “holding” means being supportive, being loving.
