November's Birthstones - Topaz vs Citrine

Citrine and Topaz – the two birthstones of November – are often confused with one another because of their yellowish-brown appearances. However, the visual potential of Topaz far surpasses the limited yellow and brown hues of citrine. Coming in a rainbow of color – the most popular, blue – topaz is one of those hardy stones that has endless potential when it comes to jewelry design.

Topaz comes in shades of pink, light green, blue, red, yellow, and even black.  For those with November birthdays, this wide array of colors is helpful when choosing a piece of jewelry that can represent the rich, warm colors of fall. This is also true of citrine.

Though it is more limited in ranges of color, this stone is also the perfect gift-giving stone for those with November birthdays. It is a rather hardy and inexpensive stone with the most sought-after colors ranging from clear, radiant yellowish to brownish-red; again, perfect colors for fall.

Though they can be similar in appearance, topaz is a much higher-quality and valued stone.
