The month of November celebrates Citrine.
In Latin, "citrus" means lemon, which gave its name to this stone which owes its color to the presence of iron.
With its lemon yellow color, even slightly orange in its natural state, much browner when heated (which is often the case), it brings a ray of sunshine to the dreary month of November. It celebrates the joy of living and is believed to bring success, but also to promote concentration and purify, eliminate negative energies. It is a stone of energy balancing.
In the past, this gem was credited with the virtues of prosperity and glory, and certain traders willingly placed it in the drawer of their cash register. It was known as the stone of the merchants in the Middle Ages.
It is also traditionally offered on the 13th wedding anniversary.
