What are November Birthstones?

Those born in November are lucky to have two birthstones, the topaz and citrine gemstones. Birthstones are usually seen worn in the form of jewelry, serving as pendants for necklaces or stones in rings and earrings. These November birthstones share the same color palettes, mainly yellow, orange, and brown. With this, it's not surprising that for years, these two gems have been confused with each other and sometimes with other gemstones too. 

Topaz is a mixture of yellow, orange, and gold-brown hues. However, this gemstone can also come in icy blue, purple, pale green, fiery red, or even become colorless with heat treatment. There is a rare type of this silicate material that is commonly known as "imperial topaz" they come in natural color varieties of red, pink, and gold. Topaz is abundantly mined in Brazil; here, the topaz is referred to as "precious topaz." Although Topaz is a November birthstone, the blue topaz is sometimes also associated with December.

‍

Unlike other birthstones, the crystals of topaz stones mostly come in large sizes. Topaz that comes in the largest crystals aren't measured in carats but kilos instead due to their big sizes. 

‍

Citrine is another birthstone or quartz known to be a November birthstone. This gemstone comes in transparent yellow to brownish-orange hues. It's hard to find natural citrines since most of them are heat-treated. Compared to topaz, citrine is less valuable, thus making it more affordable. Citrine is a popular gemstone that has been around since ancient times and has been mistaken for topaz. Today, you can see citrine used in jewelry, and out of all the other yellow-colored gemstones, citrine continues to be the most popular. 

‍

November's birthstones have many uses and come in different colors that can match your style or benefit your wellbeing. Gemstones have been believed to bring good fortune and more to its owner throughout the years.

Why do some months have three birthstones? 

Each month traditionally has only one birthstone, but as you may have noticed, certain months have 2-3 birthstones associated with it. For some, having multiple birthstones tied to their birth month can come off as confusing. There are multiple gemstones for certain months because some stones are considered more traditional and thus more expensive. More birthstones linked to a month provide people with more affordable options.

Birthstone Meaning

Birthstones are gems linked to one's birth month or zodiac sign. Since ancient times, it's believed that these birthstones have different meanings and provide different benefits relating to the health and wellness of their wearer or owner. 

‍

Gemstones are packed with a lot of history that has dated back even before the arrival of Christ based on the belief of the Christians. Astrologers in ancient times believed that the birthstones carried powers for healing and protection to the people. As time went by, astrologers associated these gemstones with the 12 months of the year and 12 zodiac signs. 

‍

Where Do Birthstones Come From?

Birthstones have a rich past and have been tracked way back to the B.C. era. It has been mentioned in the Bible's Old and New Testaments wherein Exodus 28, a high priest named Aaron had a breastplate with 12 gemstones representing the 12 tribes of the Israelites. In 1912, people discovered that those born in a certain month have distinct personalities or traits that differ from those born in a different month; with this, people created the birthstone calendar that's still being used up to today. Some even base their birthstones on their zodiac signs or the collection of star signs divisions.

‍

There are three different classifications of birthstones for each month: the ancient, traditional, and modern birthstones. Ancient gemstones have been used for thousands of years and were widely recognized, traditional gemstones have been used for the last 500 years, and modern gemstones are the ones used and available for the last 100 years. The National Association of Jewelers established the birthstone classification list in 1912, but today, gemstones are often classified by color instead of specific stones. However, the tradition of each month having its birthstone was said to be from the 18th century and began in Poland.

November Birthstones: Topaz and Citrine

There are two gemstones assigned for November, topaz, a silicate mineral of fluorine and aluminum, and citrine, a silica mineral quartz. Those born in November are lucky to have two beautiful yet affordable birthstones linked to their birth month. Topaz and citrines are quite royal-looking. Even the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate  Middleton, has been seen flexing her white topaz earrings and another pair of citrine earrings from time to time. 

Topaz was the first birthstone linked to November. Later on, around 1910, citrine was also linked to November to provide people born in November with a more affordable option. Therefore if you're born in November, you can choose between two gorgeous and rare gemstones to amp up your style or provide you with different benefits. Both of these gemstones have been said to have healing powers that their owner or wearer can benefit from. Both topaz and citrine share the same fiery and warm color commonly seen in these gemstones.

‍

Even though there are some similarities with November's two birthstones which has made people confuse one for the other for centuries, these gems are different in composition and benefits. In this article, you'll be able to understand the similarities and differences that these birthstones have and figure out which one would best fit you or the person you're buying them for. You might even end up buying both! 

Topaz

Topaz is the original birthstone for November. It's a silicate mineral. To be more specific, topaz is a fluoro-silicate form of aluminum. It's common to see topaz stones as colorless or translucent in their natural state, but they may also have different colors. These rare gemstones can also come in brown, yellow, orange, green, pink, blue, or light shades of grey. 

‍

This November gemstone is allochromatic. When you notice topaz stones in different colors, different factors may have caused it. Some of the reasons you'll notice a different colored topaz are the natural trace impurities found in the gem or if there are crystal defects in its natural structure. Another reason for topaz birthstones to come in different colors is when it is created in the lab and would undergo heat treatment. 

‍

These birthstones are formed due to the vapors that bear fluorine during the final stages of igneous rocks' crystallization. Topaz crystals are formed in the fractures or cavities of different igneous rocks such as pegmatite, rhyolite, or granites. The final stage mentioned earlier is when the magma cools, and enough fluorine will enable this gemstone's formation. Natural topaz deposits are found globally. Brazil, specifically Minas Gerais, is the source of high-quality topaz gems that are yellow to orange in color and come in large sizes; it's also where up to several hundred pounds of colorless to pale yellow topaz crystals are mined. Other countries with topaz deposits are China, Madagascar, Russia, the United States, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Namibia, Mexico, and Zimbabwe.

‍

Some have opted for clear topaz as a diamond substitute throughout the years since it's considered a fairly durable gem that's labeled an 8 on the Mohs hardness scale. Jewelry makers also use colored topaz as pendants or rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Despite being quite durable, its crystal structure can chip when struck at its weak angle. Just like any other gemstone, when wearing jewelry or accessories with topaz, it's best to wear them with care. 

‍

If you or a loved one is born in November, an accessory with topaz would be perfect. For those celebrating or will be celebrating their 4th anniversary any time soon, the blue topaz can be your go-to since it's the 4th anniversary stone, and you can give your partner an imperial topaz if you'll be celebrating either your 16th or 23rd anniversary. All you have to do is find the perfect style of jewelry or accessory, and you're all set. 

The Meaning of Topaz

There are multiple reports of where topaz got its name. It's believed that topaz got its name from "Τοpáziοn," of Greek origin linked to an area in the Red Sea wherein a yellow stone was mined during the ancient times. There has also been a report that this birthstone's name may be linked to "tapas," meaning "fire" or "heat" in Sanskrit.

‍

Aside from being a birthstone for November, topaz is most commonly given as a present during a couple's 16th wedding anniversary since it's known as the celebratory gemstone for this occasion. However, blue topaz is linked to the 4th wedding anniversary and the imperial topaz for the 23rd. 

‍

This pretty gem is dubbed as the "lover of gold" because it brings the wearer abundance in wealth and money. Topaz holds powers that promote and symbolize happiness, friendship, charity, and hope. 

History of Topaz

Topaz has a rich history dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times. During those times, topaz was linked to the god of the Sun, Appolo, since the stone sometimes resembled the color or hue of the sun. The ancient Greeks turned to this gemstone, believing that it had powers to make them stronger. However, the ancient Romans turned to topaz, believing that it was beneficial for their eyesight by improving it and protecting them from poison. Ancient Egyptians even used this birthstone to protect them from injury, serving as an amulet. 

‍

Around the 1740s, this gemstone was mistaken for a huge diamond. In Brazil, a 1,680-kilo "diamond" was dug up by the people, and to remind people of the ruler's power and wealth, the topaz was placed on the Portuguese crown. Later on, they discovered that the "diamond" they've found was a colorless topaz; even after finding out that the gem was not a diamond but a topaz, it is still seen on the Portuguese crown proudly displayed up to this day. 

‍

Russia also has some history related to the topaz birthstone. In the 19th century, the imperial topaz and other types of topaz stones were mined by the people in Russia's Ural Mountains. The pink topaz gemstones were only for the royal family during this period. Thus it has been named in honor of the Russian czar. 

‍

In Europe, topaz was highly popular around the 1300s to the 1600s, also known as the  Renaissance period. Europeans would wear topaz during several rituals. They believed that these stones could break spells and dispel anger. In India, the people believed that these gemstones provided intelligence, long life, and irresistible beauty. With this, they wore this gemstone above their hearts.

Natural and Lab-Treated Topaz

Topaz is a sought-after birthstone for November that is greatly valued because it provides people with protection and strength. Nowadays, you can buy a natural topaz or a lab-created and lab-treated one. However, it is rare to find lab-created topaz; they're usually just brought to the lab to undergo treatment. 

‍

When a jeweler wants to provide color to a colorless topaz, it would undergo irradiation heat treatment and be covered with metal oxides. This process enhances the stone and turns a colorless one into a colored one. For example, some light blue topaz gems undergo this treatment. Before treatment, light blue stones are almost colorless; once they undergo treatment, you’ll notice that it turns into a darker shade of blue; the color you see is caused by irradiation. 

‍

If you're wondering what difference a natural topaz and a lab-treated topaz make, it's found in its value. The price of topaz is based on its color; for example, a topaz with a mixture of colors like a striking orange and red color accompanied with brownish and yellow hues are considered less valuable or more affordable since it's easily found in nature. However, topaz that is pink, red, orange, and yellow would be priced higher since these color combinations are rarely found naturally. 

‍

As stated earlier within this article, most topaz birthstones are close to colorless. With this, finding a topaz with an intense color profile is rare or, more often than not, unlikely to be found in nature. To get the best color or enhance its color, it would have to be treated in the lab. Gemstones that you see with a rich color profile, having bright and striking colors, may have undergone lab treatment; most of the time, these stones started as either plain or colorless. 

‍

Topaz stones aren’t considered to be extremely rare. Thus it’s expected that this gemstone won't appreciate that much in value. Most of those who buy natural topaz would sacrifice size for quality since having large amounts of natural and high-quality topaz can be quite expensive. Investors are usually the ones that buy natural and untreated gemstones since the value retains.

‍

If you’re wondering if you’ll opt for a natural or lab-treated topaz, it all boils down to the reason you're purchasing one. If you're after the visuals of the gem, then a lab-treated topaz might be your best option. If you're looking to invest, then a high-quality natural gemstone can be your go-to.

Metaphysical Properties of Topaz

Like other birthstones, the November birthstone has various metaphysical properties for the wearer or owner of this gem. Topaz has several energies that'll benefit you, such as healing and recharging. The type or color of topaz also has its metaphysical properties such as:

Not only does it help with your boundaries, but it will also guide you into knowing where to stand with other people, so you don't overstep on their boundaries too.

You can opt for the yellow topaz for serenity, protection, harmony, and peace within yourself and to the outside world. This gemstone will satisfy your desires as long as your intentions are good. It's also perfect for chakra healing as it releases any negative energy that may be bugging you. 

Geological Properties of Topaz

Topaz is known to be one of the hardest minerals. The Mohs hardness scale ranks this gemstone at 8, making it the hardest silicate material but not as hard as corundum, diamond, and chrysoberyl. 

‍

Topaz gemstones aren't normally used in jewelry until they're treated. Natural topaz is mostly colorless, pale yellow, brown, red, pink, orange, green, blue, and brown, making it less pleasing to the eyes than the lab-treated ones. It has perfect basal cleavage, and its diaphaneity is translucent to transparent. It's a vitreous gem that's density is around 3.4 to 3.6. Although topaz is considered hard due to its cleavage, it is easy to chip at certain angles, making it difficult to cut and set. 

‍

Unlike other gems, topaz's color isn't always caused by impurities in the crystal. Sometimes it’s due to the dominant colored centers responsible for producing a gap or extra electron in its structure. When light shines into the crystal, the anomalies absorb it, thus making the stone give off a pale yellow or pale blue hue.

Benefits and Uses of Topaz

Topaz attracts good fortune, love, generosity, abundance, joy, and good health. It's been used to induce relaxation and reduce or release tension. Some refer to topaz as a rejuvenating stone. It helps people focus more on being and less on doing. 

‍

Those seeking clarity to follow their path that leads to their desires may turn to the topaz gemstone as their guide. It cleanses the aura and makes the people feel safe by connecting them to what matters most. It also helps people connect to the spiritual world by deep meditation. Even Tarot Card readers have used the topaz gemstone to increase psychic abilities. It provides spiritual healing as well as inner guidance. 

‍

For years topaz has been said to cure various illnesses such as gall bladder stones, rheumatism, and arthritis. The yellow gemstone is also said to cure jaundice and liver disorders. Aside from these, it's also used to relieve problems with vision, blood disorders, indigestion, and bleeding. The yellow topaz is also good for aiding fevers, coughs, and colds, while the blue topaz relieves throat problems. 

‍

‍

When it comes to mental health and awareness, topaz is also beneficial. It calms the mind and aids depression and anxiety. Some even say that this birthstone can help one break free from suicidal thoughts and tendencies. This gem works for both men and women,  providing men with intellect and happiness to women. Topaz also guides the people towards rational decision-making while helping them control anger and aggression. This stone makes people fearless by helping reduce phobias. For individuals having trouble accomplishing or finishing their daily tasks, topaz, especially blue ones, will help you concentrate by providing clarity while you get your job done. It helps people become confident and helps them communicate their thoughts or sentiments. Additionally, it promotes honesty, self-realization, control, and openness. Topaz inspires creativity and lengthens the attention span, making this gem perfect for working individuals, students, and artists.

‍

Whenever life takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions that may come off as exhausting, painful, and uncomfortable, you can lean on the topaz gemstone to strengthen your will to push forward and see the silver lining in each scenario. 

How to Care For a Topaz

To preserve the beauty of your topaz, you must learn the best cleaning and caring practices to avoid it from aging or chipping too quickly. One of the most important things to remember is to avoid cleaning the gemstone using steam or ultrasound. It's best to keep it easy and simple with warm and soapy water.

‍

Natural and lab-created topaz's color will naturally fade over time. It's best to store your gem in places with moderate temperatures and out of direct exposure to sunlight or any heat, especially if your topaz was mined in Asia or Russia since topaz found in these areas are known to fade quickly, thus making it in need of extra protection. 

‍

Due to their cleavage or build, these gems can easily chip when struck at a certain angle. When you're wearing jewelry with a topaz birthstone in it, take extra care to ensure it doesn't hit anything hard, this is the same for storing. You might think it's best to keep your topaz stored with other stones; however, it could end up getting scratched. It's best to keep it separately. 

‍

It's best practice to put your topaz jewelry on when you're done applying makeup or lotion and taking it off before bathing. Again, warm and soapy water is the best way to clean it. Avoid any chemicals and use only a soft cloth.

Citrine

Citrine is the secondary birthstone for November after topaz. It's cheaper than topaz and is a type of quartz. This gemstone is considered a semi-precious, commonly transparent, coarse-grained stone and more common than its counterpart. Citrine gets its yellow to brownish hue due to the colloidally suspended hydrous iron oxide. Its colors may range from a pastel yellow to a darker reddish-orange, just like the phases of a sunrise or sunset. 

‍

Despite being more common than topaz, natural citrine is still rare. Like other quartz, natural citrine links silicon and oxygen atoms. However, most of the citrines in the market are made by heat treating purple amethyst and smoky quartz.  

‍

Natural citrine is mined all over the world despite its rarity. Some citrine mining sites are Kazakhstan, Madagascar, and the Ural Mountains in Russia.

‍

‍

Natural citrine stones tend to have a cloudy and smokey appearance. Citrine and yellow topaz are visually the same, but their composition and hardness greatly differ. Before people discovered the difference between them, many people mistook citrine for topaz or topaz for citrine. 

‍

You can find citrine used as pendants in necklaces or rings and earrings. Citrine has been used in jewelry for years dating back to the days of ancient Egypt's pharaohs. Aside from this gem being a perfect stone for those born in November, you can also give it as a gift for your 13th wedding anniversary. 

The Meaning of Citrine 

The citrine gemstone's name came from "citron," a French word that means lemon. There are also reports that it may be linked to the word "citrina" in Latin that resembles its pale citrus color and clarity. 

‍

The citrine gemstone has many names, such as the "Sun Stone," wherein its believed that citrine keeps the sunlight and gains energy from the sun's rays. Citrine is also known as "The Merchant's Stone" due to the belief that it provides successful trades and brings forth luck to businesses. This gemstone's meaning revolves around joy, energy, and prosperity.

History of Citrine 

"Citrine" has been the name used to call any yellow gemstone that's been found since 1385. In the past, many believed that citrine had powers to calm people down, soothe their fits of anger and help them prosper. In 1556, the name "citrine" stuck for the citrine birthstone. 

‍

The ancient Greeks have used citrines as accessories or decorations from 150 to 300 B.C. or the Hellenistic Age. Some records have shown that the entire sword handles in the 17th century were made of citrine; Scottish men used these for their daggers and swords for display purposes. Citrine became more popular between World War 1 and 2 when the Art Deco era thrived. Even movie stars were seen or reported to have worn citrine jewelry.

‍

In the 18th century, Mineralogists discovered that purple amethyst and smoky quartz combined by heat treatment could produce citrine with lemon-like and golden colors. Since then, citrine has become easily accessible, thus making it far more affordable. 

‍

Romans in the past have turned to citrine with the belief that this stone will protect them from evil thoughts. Citrine was sold a lot during the 1930s due to experienced gem cutters moving from Germany to South Africa. 

‍

One of the noteworthy use of citrine was in the 1800s when Queen Victoria found citrine quite beautiful and used this stone to decorate the summer residence or rest house she and Prince Albert owned in the middle of the 19th century. Since then, many people have wanted to try or copy Queen Victoria's style.

‍

Citrine also made a great impact in America. Specifically, sitting in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, you can see a citrine perfume bottle made in Delhi in this museum. In the Metropolitan Museum, you can see a citrine carving showing Luigi Sammoriva, a miniature, carved rendition of  Robert Lefevre's oil-painted version.

‍

Natural citrine was used in jewelry dating back to the 1st century by the Greeks and Romans. It was also featured in Duchess of Windsor's flamingo brooch and the earrings of the Bulgari Cerchi. 

Metaphysical Properties of Citrine

Thus it continues to bring positive energies into your life or anywhere you feel that negative energies, ghosts, or spirits are bugging you.

‍

Whenever you feel exhausted, it might be due to exchanging energies to different parts of your body in need; this could take a chaotic toll on your body. Citrine can benefit you during times like these. This gem is like a scale that can help you facilitate and balance the flow of energies within your body to keep you from feeling exhausted. 

Geological Properties of Citrine

Citrine is rarely found as a gem-quality crystal with transparency and good color since it's based on silicon dioxide. It's a type of quartz with amethyst, rose quartz, and aventurine. This stone is part of the macrocrystalline family.

‍

Citrine is a transparent or translucent gem that doesn't have a cleavage and measures at a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, with a vitreous luster. It comes in various shades of yellow and orange, which makes it confused for other types of yellow gems.

‍

You can find natural citrine mined in Namibia, Russia, Scotland, Spain, Burma, the USA, Madagascar, Argentina, and Russia, where it's mined abundantly.
