November’s birthstone is called Citrine, a stunning golden-yellow gemstone known for its warmth and beauty. Citrine is a variety of quartz that can range in colour from light yellow to deep honey brown, with natural inclusions that give it a unique sparkle. The name "Citrine" comes from the French word "citron," meaning lemon, reflecting its bright and sunny hue.
The History of Citrine
Citrine has been cherished for centuries, with its use in jewellery dating back to ancient Greece around 300 BC. In the 19th century, during the Victorian era in Britain, citrine surged in popularity, becoming a favourite gemstone for creating luxurious and intricate jewellery designs. Its radiant golden tones were seen as symbols of wealth, vitality, and elegance.
The Meaning and Symbolism of Citrine
Citrine is often referred to as the "Stone of Imagination" and is believed to enhance creativity, boost self-expression, and promote positivity. Its warm, energising colour is thought to uplift the wearer, much like the sun's rays bring light and warmth. Citrine has long been associated with abundance, success, and joy, making it a meaningful gemstone for those born in November.
