November Birthstone: Citrine

Prized for its yellow hues and effervescent shine, sunny citrine is the birthstone for November. Citrine is a type of quartz named after the French word for lemon. Its color range includes a variety of citrusy tones, from reddish-orange to light yellow. This gemstone’s fantastic transparency gives it a glistening appeal for excellent wearability in birthstone jewelry. Highly symbolic, colorful and uniquely glowing, citrine is November’s gemstone that can be found in earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets and more.

November Birthstone Color

The warm colors of citrine have made this November stone a popular gemstone for jewelry throughout history, with its bright hue regarded as a symbol of joy. It has been found in Greek ornaments, Roman jewelry and Victorian-era jewelry. The bright and cheery citrine brings a rich November birthstone color of yellow to a brownish-orange tone. It ranges from transparent to deeper hues.

Citrine's Birthstone History

 
While citrine is the modern birthstone for November, topaz has been the traditional birthstone for this month. Both gemstones can bring yellow hues and citrine has often been mistaken for yellow topaz. The National Association of Jewelers added citrine as the modern November birthstone in 1912. 

 A uniquely-colored variety of quartz, citrine has a rich history. Quartz has been valued in many societies including ancient Egypt and ancient Greek civilizations. Citrine was also featured in many Victorian jewelry pieces such as necklaces and brooches. 

 

November Birthstone Symbolism

 
In addition to being a symbol of happiness, the birthstone meaning of citrine also includes health, vitality, prosperity and good fortune. Like topaz, citrine is known to have a calming energy that soothes tempers and promotes a balanced mood. It can also be used to help the wearer get through difficult situations and protect them against bad luck.
