Citrine is made of silicon and oxygen atoms arranged in a tetrahedral pattern, essentially a triangular pyramid. Being in contact with this light-generating crystal is thought to help boost your creativity, visualization powers, and confidence. Citrine drives out darkness and night fears and helps to protect against negative people. It also is good for prosperity. Intuition can be increased with this stone and it can help you to discern your inner voice from free-floating anxiety. Because of this, the gem holds energy for very long periods of time and doesn't need to be recharged often.
