Question: What stones make you feel energetic?

Baked and natural Citrine – I am often asked the question over the different between Natural and Baked Citrine here is my response.  I find that natural citrine has a very similar vibration to baked Citrine it is just a lot more intense due to the time it took to be created.  You have the same makeup in both stones, bake Citrine has just been fast-tracked to get there were as Natural Citrine has happened over a long period of time.  I very much enjoy working with Natural Citrine because of its intense clear vibration but have worked with both over the years due to the cost factor.

Chakra – Solar Plexus and Sacral Chakra and Base Chakra
