Those born in November will be thrilled to receive a gift of citrine jewelry. This November Birthstone is a form of quartz that ranges in color from yellow and yellow-brown to orange, dark orange-brown, and reddish-brown. Most of this November birthstone available today is heat-treated amethyst. Natural citrine is much lighter than heat-treated material, but this heat-treated material possesses a lovely red tint that naturally occurring citrine does not have. Amethyst and citrine often form in the same locations, and some amethyst deposits have been found where the violet gemstone was changed to brown citrine naturally by high temperatures.

Most heat-treated citrine comes from Brazil, but natural citrine can be found in the Ural Mountains of Russia, in Dauphine, France, and in Madagascar. Like all varieties of quartz, citrine has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. This makes the November birthstone resistant to scratches. This shimmering golden gemstone will definitely bring warmth into the lives of those born in November. Surprise your loved one with the November birthstone, lovely citrine jewelry, today.
