The Versatile and Elegant Citrine
Citrine – November's birthstone (as well as Topaz) – is widely regarded as the “healing quartz”. Derived from the French word “citrin,” meaning lemon, Citrine supports health and vitality, and encourages hope, energy and warmth within the person wearing the stone.
If you are looking for a stone that offers a full range of warm fall colours, especially yellow and golden hues – the citrine is for you!

The citrine can be found in a variety of hues ranging from pastel yellow to a dark brownish yellow, and every shade in between. Citrine crystals can also form together with smoky quartz to form ametrine, a bicolour quartz.
The citrine stone is commonly found in Spain, Brazil, and Bolivia. However, it is also found in the Ural Mountains in Russia; Dauphine, France; and in Madagascar.
It’s also one of the most versatile stones. You can wear citrine pieces when attending "dress-up" events, or when you are dressed down, perhaps taking in a movie with friends. Citrine is one of the hottest gemstones on the market today!

Citrine is the contemporary birthstone for November. Plus, it is more affordable than the traditional birthstone - the imperial topaz. It is also a traditional gift for the 13th and 17th wedding anniversaries. The citrine gemstone is a perfect gift idea for many occasions.
Once referred to as Brazilian topaz, the stone has been popular for thousands of years. It was highly sought for its rarity. It was used by the ancient Romans for exquisite jewelry and intaglio work, and was also very popular during the Art Deco period between World War 1 and World War 2. Today, it has experienced a surge in popularity and is now widely used by jewellers around the world. Citrine is a member of the quartz family, and the stone has an extensive list of quartz siblings. Perhaps the most alluring feature of the stone, outside of its wonderful golden color, is its affordability and availability.
