Zambian Citrine

Zambian Citrine is a natural variety of quartz known for its rich golden to deep amber hues and excellent clarity. It forms deep within the Earth as iron-containing quartz is exposed to natural heat over time, which shifts the crystal’s color from clear or smoky to golden-yellow. The citrine from Zambia tends to display a slightly deeper, earthier tone than citrine from other regions, often leaning toward honey or tea-colored shades. Unlike heat-treated amethyst—which is often sold as citrine—Zambian Citrine is prized for being naturally formed, giving it a more grounded and energetically stable presence.

Metaphysically, Zambian Citrine is known as a stone of abundance, clarity, and personal empowerment. Closely linked to the solar plexus chakra, it is believed to energize willpower, boost confidence, and inspire creativity. Its natural warmth is thought to help clear negativity, encourage optimism, and support manifestation work. Because of its purity and depth, Zambian Citrine is also considered especially effective for those seeking to align their goals with purposeful action, making it a favorite for both personal growth and focused intention setting.
