November Birthstones
Golden Topaz and Citrine, both containing yellow are the accepted birthstones for November.
GOLDEN TOPAZ is mostly found in nature as a brownish yellow stone. The stone is commerciaally treated and changed into other colors, especially the enthralling golden color which many ladies love. Rarely does aany other variety of gemstones have this color, and so because of the high demand and low availability it can fetch enormous prices.
If you come across one with a fair price, go for it without hesitation. See that you get a genuine stone.
CITRINE is one of the more valuable forms of the variety called quartz. Its golden yellow and honey colors have made it a popular stone in all parts of the world.
Generally, amethyst or smoky quart is commercially treated to produce citrine. This color of citrine tends to have much
more orange or reddish caste than the pale color in which it is found in nature.
Jewelry made with these golden yellow stones are in great demand with the public. Here too, as with many varieties of gemstones, rings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets are what many look for.
