The Makeup of November’s Birthstone Citrine
Citrine is both beautiful and durable, so it’s a great gemstone for jewelry that gets regular wear, like an engagement ring.
Citrine is a pale yellow to orange variety of the mineral quartz. This gem gets its sunny color from traces of iron within its crystal structure. In the past, citrine was often confused with topaz (another November birthstone), which occurs in a similar yellow-orange color.
Like other types of quartz, citrine is quite durable, which makes it great for everyday wear in pieces like earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and even rings. While some other birthstones are too soft to be practical for an everyday ring, citrine ranks in at an 8 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, so it’s a great option for fashion rings and engagement rings.
