Placement Concept:
• Southeast corners of rooms, desks, or studio spaces where planning and creative work happens.
• Presentation: On pale wood, linen, or white ceramic so the golden tones look extra vivid.
• Shape Layout: Points fanning outward like rays; tumbled stones scattered along the edge of a tray like sunlight spots.
• Lighting: Direct but gentle daylight, avoiding intense, magnifying-window setups.
• Avoid: High heat near treated or heat-altered citrine, which can intensify color changes.
