Anchors
Sourcing
Natural citrine (pale yellow, from Brazil/Madagascar) is rare. Most commercial 'citrine' is heat-treated amethyst — burnt orange to deep amber. Both are valid but sourcing transparency matters. Avoid glass imitations.
Classical lineage
Classical Vedic literature does not specifically reference this stone. Modern usage is grounded in mineralogical observation and energetic-tradition practice.
