 November
(Citrine)
- Light yellow to golden brown in color.
- Moh's scale of hardness 7
Citrine jewelry actually belongs to the quartz family, although
it is often mistakenly referred to as topaz, and it makes
the perfect gift for a birthday in November. Almost all
citrine jewelry is made with heat-treated amethyst. While
this can occur naturally when amethyst is exposed to heating
in the ground, gems are often cut and then heat-treated
to control uniformity. Certain varieties of smoky quartz
may also be heat-treated to create gemstones for citrine
jewelry.
Yellow Topaz is the alternate gemstone for this month
