Selecting Your Crystals
If you are able to physically go to the store to select your crystal, using one of the following techniques may be helpful for you. It is important to ensure you are grounded before selecting a crystal from a Brick & Mortar Store.
Note: Amethyst naturally transitions to Citrine in the earth’s crust when it reaches a temperature in excess of 500 degrees Celsius. It is a common practice to heat-treat Amethyst to create Citrine for jewellery and other consumer products. If you are seeking to purchase natural Citrine, please consult the Retailer prior to purchasing.
Opinions on whether or not the properties of the crystals are impacted by the heat-treated version of the crystal are open to debate. It is up to you to select the crystal that speaks to you and to work with it.
Grounding
When you are ready, sit or stand comfortably with your feet planted firmly on the floor or ground. Picture roots going firmly into the floor or ground while a golden cord extends into the heavens from the head. Take a deep breath from your abdomen and fully exhale. Repeat your breaths twice more.
Brick & Mortar Store
Pendulum Technique
Clear your pendulum.
Ensure you are grounded. Picture tree roots extending from the base of your spine. Take a deep breath exhale. Repeat the process twice more.
Hold the pendulum in your non-dominant hand, with your dominant hand underneath.
Ask your pendulum to show you "Yes". Note the direction the pendulum moved.
Ask the pendulum to stop.
Now ask the pendulum to show you "No". Note the direction the pendulum moved.
Ask the pendulum to stop.
Place a piece of Citrine in your dominant hand under the pendulum.
Ask the Pendulum "Is this piece in my best or highest good?" or "Is this piece meant for me?" or a similar Yes/No question that will allow you to know whether or not the piece is meant for you to purchase.
Note the response.
If the response is no, try the process again with another piece.
Note: If the piece is too big for you to hold you will need to place it on a firm surface and hold the pendulum over top of the crystal while asking the question.
Intuitive Selection
Hold the crystal in your non-dominant hand against your heart.
Ask your guides if this is in your best and highest good.
If you experience a positive feeling then the piece is a good match.
If you experience cold sensory feelings or a feeling of dread, select a different piece and repeat the process.
Cleanse Your Crystal
Options
Set your Citrine on a piece of Selenite for several hours until you intuit the energy of the crystal has been cleansed.
Himalayan Salt or the light of the moon can also be used to cleanse Citrine if you prefer to use a method other than cleansing it with Selenite.
Citrine does not get along well with many soap products and as a result, it is recommended that a damp cloth is used to cleanse jewellery.
