Old merchants kept it in the till, which is where the nickname \"merchant's stone\" comes from. It's the one I reach for on days I need to remember my own worth and reach for what I want without shrinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the honest part, because it matters: most citrine you'll see, the bright orange kind, is actually amethyst that's been heat-treated to turn that color. That's not a scam, it's just good to know, and heat-treated citrine holds its color well and carries the same warm, confident associations for most people. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhichever kind calls you, this is a stone for warmth, worth, and the nerve to reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e golden yellow to warm amber-orange, in points, clusters, and tumbles.
