Citrine Slice Pendant

Citrine is a golden-yellow variety of quartz, traditionally associated with abundance, optimism, and creativity. Most commercial citrine, including the stone here, is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz, which brings out its warm color. This pendant is cut as a thin, polished cross-section slice, letting light pass through the translucent golden stone. Quick facts Stone Citrine Composition Silicon dioxide (quartz); most commercial citrine, including this piece, is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz Hardness (Mohs) 7 Color Translucent golden yellow; pattern varies piece to piece Format Thin polished cross-section slice, ready for a chain Chakra Traditionally linked to the solar plexus chakra Traditionally used for Abundance, optimism, creativity Care / Water-safe Brief rinse only — keep the metal bail out of water to protect its finish Meaning & history In crystal tradition, citrine is the "success stone," associated with abundance, optimism, and creativity, and a favorite for manifestation and abundance practices. Cutting the stone into a thin slice reveals its natural growth pattern and translucency in a way a fully polished piece doesn't, so each pendant carries its own subtle texture.

How to wear it The pendant comes without a chain, so you can choose the length and metal tone you like — thin gold-tone or silver-tone chains both work well against the translucent gold. Because each slice is natural, expect gentle variation in pattern, tone, and exact shape from the photo, which is part of what makes it one of a kind. Wear it solo for a simple everyday accent, or layered with other pendants. Care & cleansing Citrine is quartz, so it's naturally durable at Mohs 7, but a thin slice is more delicate than a thicker cut, so handle it gently and keep the metal bail out of water when you can. A quick rinse under lukewarm water and a soft-cloth dry is enough; avoid prolonged soaking, steam, ultrasonic cleaners, and salt, which can dull a treated stone's surface over time.
