The traditional birthstone for November is Yellow Topaz. However, Citrine is the modern birthstone. Greeks believed topaz could increase strength. Romans thought they could improve eyesight using topaz. Egyptians thought the gem would prevent injuries. Citrine is thought to help the heart, kidneys, and digestive tract, and it increases creativity and feelings of joy and promotes clarity.
Citrine is often confused for the more expensive yellow topaz. Some dishonest jewelers will actually try to sell citrine as fake yellow topaz. So, when you are purchasing citrine or yellow topaz as a gift for someone, be sure that you know which stone you are purchasing. If you purchase what you believe is a genuine yellow topaz, be sure to get the authenticity papers and take it to another jeweler for a second opinion.
