November's birthstone is the citrine, recognizable by its yellowish-orange-brown color. The stone is often translucent and can have a glassy or oily sheen.

Citrine is also called the sacred stone. Medicine men once believed it could impart wisdom and heal people. Citrine is also said to bring wealth and protect against the evil eye. It also works well for mood swings, depression, and panic attacks. It's a wonderful stone that offers comfort and dispels negative energy.

Citrine represents creativity, is calming, effective against depression, and provides insight. This gemstone is a powerful healing and purifying stone. It brings balance and has a calming effect. This fosters inner peace and has a revitalizing effect on exhaustion. The birthstone offers insight and raises awareness of your own responsibilities. This can help you counteract a victim mentality and self-destructive behavior. It helps you regain balance. Physically, the birthstone helps with pain relief, inflammation reduction, detoxification, and cramp relief. It also aids in nutrient absorption and has a positive effect on your immune system and combats viral infections.

Native Americans used the gemstone as a magical stone that was believed to protect them from impending disaster and misfortune. They often incorporated the stone into their clothing so they would always carry it with them. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used citrine as a grave gift, believed to honor and protect the deceased. Receiving it as a grave gift was a final sign of respect.

Besides being the November birthstone, citrine also belongs to the Scorpio and Sagittarius zodiac signs. You can also use it for zodiac jewelry if you're interested.
