Question by Live Alive: Is baked amethyst “citrine” still hold metaphysical properties? :)?
These days, alot of what people sell as “citrine” is actually heat treated ( or baked) amethyst. I am fully aware of this however I have found the subject on what the altered crystal’s metaphysical properties are… On one side you have people saying that the crystal no longer holds metaphysical properties what so ever. On another you have people saying that it holds same properties as amethyst. And on another side says that because of the color, it has similar propertis as citrine. What is your opinion????? Through experience 🙂

Love Light and Peace 🙂

I personally believe that unless you are using the crystal in its natural state, then it does not hold the same properties. A heat treated amethyst is still an amethyst, so I do not believe that it should be used with the intent of focusing the same healing powers as citrine.
Just my opinion.

What do you think? Answer below!
No crystal has “metaphysical” or healing properties to begin with. That is just new age nonsense, promoted by either con-artists or the deluded, to the gullible. There is not one shred of evidence to support the notion, nor is it plausible. I’m yet to see one proper clinical trial on the efficacy of crystal therapy.
Of course if anyone thinks I’m wrong, and I may be, then let’s see your extraordinary evidence that supports this extraordinary claim. I’ll start your Nobel Prize paperwork for you.
