November Birthstones

Happy Birthday to all the November babies! I'm sure most of you know your month's birthstone. Birthstones have been around since ancient times and believed to protect the owner and wearer of the stone. 


November's birthstones are topaz and citrine. The two gemstones were commonly mistaken for each other, so jewelers decided upon both. The gemstones come in shades of brown, yellow, gold, and orange. 


Citrine from www.colourlovers.com.

The November birthstones has an extensive list or properties:
1. Prevents colds and other diseases.
2. Strengthens breathing.
3. Controls angry passions. 
4. Enhances creativity.
5. Increases understanding.
6. Brings relaxation.
7. Restores energy.
8. Helps in tissue regeneration. 


Keep this in mind when purchasing topaz or citrine jewelry. The more intense the color, the more valuable to stone.
