Great post. One thing that doesn’t get talked about enough is natural citrine vs. the heat-treated [amethyst](https://forum.witchesgrimoire.org/t/magical-properties-of-amethyst-for-witches/36) that’s sold as citrine. I think it makes a lot of difference in spellwork. Most of what’s out there (like 90%) is amethyst baked in ovens at super high temps until it turns orange. _True_ natural citrine is pretty rare.

Natural stuff tends to be pale yellow, maybe with a champagne or slight green tint. The heat-treated ones are usually that deep burnt orange or reddish color and come in those big geode formations. Natural citrine doesn’t usually form that way. It’s more like individual points.
