Citrine: November Birthstone

The warm November birthstone citrine, sometimes referred to as the "Merchant's Stone" because of its capacity to draw prosperity and success, has always captivated me. My close buddy was experiencing a difficult financial period and was losing motivation for her company. I was intrigued by Citrine's reputation and recommended that she implement it into her daily routine, not just for financial benefit but also to promote positivity and a new perspective. Her energy changed almost instantly once she selected a bracelet made of citrine. She told me that she was more determined, upbeat, and even said that ideas appeared to come to her more readily. She began to see noticeable changes in her business within a few weeks, with little but encouraging improvements.

I am not saying you must believe it but at least try and experience the transformation.

The change was really motivating! Observing how Citrine affected her mindset and results helped me understand how potent it might be—not as a panacea, but as a poignant reminder to concentrate on development and plenty. Citrine may be a subdued yet effective ally for anybody looking for optimism, fortitude, or wealth. Citrine could be the next step for you to feel a little more light and encouragement in your life if you're interested in the magic of gemstones.

topaz

With the leaves changing into fire colors in the Northern Hemisphere during November it only seems fitting that this month's birthstones also come, most commonly, in colors of brown, gold, red and orange. Let's talk about topaz first.

From the Middle Ages backward, 'topaz' was usually used to refer to any yellow stone (its believed, for instance, that the 'topaz' referred to on the high priest's breastplate in the Old Testament was probably a citrine). However, modern scientific distinctions believe that most references to topaz in older historic texts were actually either peridot, citrine (November's other birthstone) or chrysoberyl. True topaz is a much heavier stone than any of these, surprisingly heavy for a stone of its chemical makeup in fact. In its natural form, most topaz is actually a clear stone. Its variety of colors come from either heat or additional minerals while it was forming. 'In the wild' topaz can be found in colors that range from red to pink to grey to various shades of brown as well as yellow or even violet. Blue topaz is rare as well and often very pale with heat (or radiation) being used to darken its color. 'Mystic topaz' is topaz that has been heat treated and then painted with a coat of metallic oxide to give it an iridescent look. Pink topaz is called imperial topaz. November uses the orange topaz, known as the precious topaz, as its birth stone of choice.

Topaz deposits can found on every single continent, with Brazil being the largest exporter of the stone. The largest topaz every found comes from the Minas Gerais mine in Brazil in fact, a boulder sized topaz that weighted 596 pounds (271 kilos). Topaz is also one of the hardest stones, coming in at 8 on the Mohs hardness scale (a diamond is a 10 on the scale), yet, because of its atomic bonding structure if hit at just the right angle it can splinter.

Being around as long as it has, there are a lot of superstitions that surround topaz. In ancient Rome, the topaz protected travels on the road. In ancient Greece, wearing a topaz was supposed to grant you strength while in India, a topaz worn over the heart granted long life, beauty and intelligence. Wearing topaz on your left arm in Medieval Europe was a good way to turn away the evil eye and other curses. It was also medicinal, believed to increase body heat against fevers and colds. During the Renaissance, topaz was useful for controlling anger and dispelling evil magic spells. In England, the topaz was said to help cure madness. It is associated with love, wealth (its golden color can attract gold, especially if the stone is set in gold) and health. It is supposed to aid in digestion and weight loss as well as arthritis. It is supposed to help attract love. Saint Hildegard recommended soaking topaz in wine for three days and nights and then rubbing it on the eyes to improve sight. It can also supposedly make its wearer invisible. Keeping a topaz stone under your pillow is said to help keep nightmares away. Its said to help cure sleepwalking. It can, thanks to its golden color, also be associated with the sun and fire. A blue topaz is the wedding anniversary gift for the fourth anniversary and the imperial topaz for the twenty-third.

The 1740, Braganza Diamond of Portugal was so clear and bright it was believed to be a diamond. It is, in fact, a topaz.

If you were born in November, topaz is one of your birthstones! Can you name the others? Weighing nearly 600 lbs (270 kg), this tremendous topaz is one of the largest single crystals of topaz in any museum in the world! This specimen is just one example of how large crystals in pegmatites can grow. If you look closely, you’ll notice that its upper faces are covered in small, stepped bumps and mounds. The mounds are growth hillocks and are caused by imperfections in the crystal structure called screw dislocations—where new material is added in a spiral!
