November babies get a double treat when it comes to birthstones, the sunny golden glow of citrine and the sparkling clarity of topaz. Both are stones of warmth and energy, a perfect pick-me-up for these cooler, darker months.
The Meaning of Topaz
Topaz is all about strength and clarity, said to bring balance, confidence, and calm energy. It’s often seen in stunning shades of blue or golden amber, and it’s hard-wearing too (8 on the Mohs scale), which means it’s as practical as it is beautiful.
The Glow of Citrine
Citrine’s name comes from the French word citron, meaning lemon, and it’s every bit as joyful as that sounds. With its sunny golden hue, citrine is said to attract prosperity and positivity, it’s the ultimate “good vibes only” stone.
