Lemon Quartz

LEMON QUARTZ

Lemon Quartz is not a crystal I had come in contact with at the time of writing my book “The Definitive Crystal, Gem and Mineral Reference Guide. I dealt with many different varieties of quartz but this one didn’t appear on my radar.

I recently discovered this sunny uplifting stone which attracts abundance, much like Citrine. Unlike the orange or gold colour of Citrine though, Lemon Quartz comes in various shades of yellow.

These crystals can occur naturally but are also manufactured with gamma radiation.

A powerful stone it is self-cleansing so never needs to be cleaned. It is a good luck stone and can help remove negative thinking or mental blockages.

Using it can speed up recovery from illness or injury and help after surgery.

If you are trying to diet or give up smoking, Lemon Quartz will reduce cravings. It is also said to help with diabetes.

Lemon Quartz has a Mohs hardness of 7 with a composition of SiO2, the same as other quartz. It is commonly found in Brazil.

This is a very pretty stone and lovely to add to your collection, but some people may find its power and energy too much to cope with.
