November birthstone, the citrine, is the stone of wealth. Associated with intuition, comfort, protection, creativity, physical energy, mental awakening and happiness, known to protect the wearer against evil words and thoughts.

November birthstone, the citrine, has been popular for thousands of years and used to be valued for its rarity, though that has changed with time.

In ancient times, the citrine was carried as a good luck charm, or was worn as a protective amulet. Soldiers in Caesar's legions are said to have worn citrine on the chest during battle believing the gemstone has life-saving abilities.

Early cultures believed the citrine to be the “stone of mind” and that placing a citrine gemstone on the forehead of an elder would increase his psychic power.

Citrine set in jewelry was used since the Hellenistic period (end of the 4th to the end of the 1st century BC). It was very popular in the 19th century as well as during the art deco period and was found in many prized jewelry.

Nowadays, the stone is not as rare is it used to be, what makes it to be an inexpensive gem. That fact makes the citrine to be an asset in the jewelry world as jewelers can use larger stones in their designs.
