The Manifestation Stone – Everything You Need to Know About Citrine

What if we told you that there’s a stone that can help you achieve all your wildest dreams? Well, we’re happy to report that there is one! Meet Citrine – or as some people like to call it – the manifestation stone. This light-amber-toned stone is associated with wealth, prosperity, and success.
