Many of the stones associated with the solar plexus are golden: citrine, yellow apatite, yellow tourmaline, yellow sapphire, and Libyan desert glass. Other stones include tiger's eye, rhodochrosite, malachite, and merlinite.

Most citrine is created by heating amethyst. These heat-treated stones have different energies from natural citrine, but both types of citrine affect creativity, will, metabolism, and manifestation. Citrine is often used to increase energy while stimulating metabolism, which leads to weight loss. It is a good prosperity stone because it helps you understand your desire (will) and gives you the energy to go after it.
