Wear Citrine close to the body in jewelry and keep it in sight in home or office.
Another yellow crystal is Amber, which is actually fossilized tree resin. Amber is a strong overall healer and cleanser with a warming and uplifting quality - ideal for those who need an extra energetic yet gentle "boost." Use it during the winter's darker months to bring a ray of sunshine to cold weather "blahs" as Amber quickly absorbs negative energies and builds a positive, sunny mood and disposition. Helpful for memory, stress, decision making. When treating babies, the Mother should wear the stone first and transmit to the child. Best worn as bracelet or necklace.

It is found in the Erg Desert strew field near the Northwest Egyptian Libya border in the Sahara Desert.
