November's birthstones, topaz and citrine, both carry rich histories and symbolism. Topaz, traditionally a golden-yellow stone, has been valued since ancient times, believed to bring strength and protection to its wearer. It symbolizes warmth, loyalty, and abundance, often associated with the sun. Citrine, a yellow to reddish-brown variety of quartz, has been known as the "merchant’s stone" for its association with wealth and prosperity. In ancient civilizations, it was worn to enhance personal power and clarity of thought. Both stones represent positivity, energy, and success, making them powerful symbols for those born in November.
