November Birthstones are Yellow Topaz and Citrine

The birthstone for the month of November is the yellow topaz.
Topaz comes in many other colors including orange, red, blue and green. The word topaz comes from the Sanskrit word meaning "fire". The ancients used the gem to control heat. They believed that the topaz could cool boiling water. It was also thought that the gem could calm an angry spirit and cure a fever.

Citrine, the yellow variety of quartz, is considered an alternate birthstone for the month of November. This is because the yellow topaz is incredibly rare and often very expensive. The yellow citrine varies in color between shades of yellow and orange only. It is also very affordable even for the poor. The gem is believed to keep away evil forces and enemies. It is also supposed to maintain harmony in the home. Many consider the citrine to be a lucky gemstone, especially for those who are ruled by the planet Jupiter.

I "love" citrines..they're great for menopause and fatigue..they're great to re-energize a slacking feeling that we all get now and again.

bumping up for November's stones.

I like citrene & clear quartz on top of my Cards

And citrene in the top left corner of the house
The furthest point from the homes main entry point
Citrene, also called the merchants stone
Bringing wealth in to the home
Its your call, you only have a piece of citrene to lose
Although; mine is quite a big piece
Sitting out of site, sometimes forgotten
Sometimes cleansed by the moon

However, it is a self cleanser
And did sit out of sight for many years
Before man learn't to mine
Now I have borrowed its use
And in time, someone else will find it
And the sharing continues

hehehe

hehehe, thanks Hermie....
