November - Citrine
Citrine is considered November's birthstone because of its warm, sunny yellow color, which is often associated with the autumn season and the glow of the late fall sun, making it a fitting choice for the month; the name "citrine" itself comes from the French word for "lemon," further reflecting its bright yellow hue.
This beauty is known as the stone of happiness, joy, abundance, and personal will. If you’re all about ‘manifesting,’ then this is the most powerful fit for you. Many say that simply wearing this stone will lift your spirits and help you successfully achieve your goals. This is why people all over the world love to wear Citrine jewelry. It’s also recommended that you keep a Citrine in the “wealth” corner of your home or business in a “cash box”—and let those powers come into play.
Even as far back as 300 BC, the gleam of the Citrine crystal was beloved as a decorative gem. Ancient Greek and Roman jewelers would use Citrine to adorn rings to be slipped upon important fingers. But even as time ticked on, Citrine never lost its place in being a beloved jewel. Queen Victoria too loved Citrine and used it to make a statement in her 17th-century costumes. Later, in the new era of Hollywood royalty, stars like Greta Garbo would wear Citrine on the red carpet making it an immortal aspect of art deco style.
Citrine can activate one’s imagination, bringing more creative visions to a clearer mind. It can enhance one’s optimism in any situation, bringing a more positive outlook into the conscious and subconscious mind, which allows one to step into the flow of things with better results.
If you ever feel like you have lost your grip, Citrine is here to remind you to simply take it back with a smile. It helps you to crack open your mind, to release those tense feelings of negativity and anger, and to take deep cleansing breaths that help you to overcome muddled feelings of confusion, depression, and destructive tendencies.
Say a big yes to feeling good and go for the bright and burning energy of the sunny Citrine Stone.
