Gemstones are so pretty and shiny! Their colors, healing properties, myths, and legends fascinate me. Gemstone folklore has been around for centuries in all cultures. Most intriguing are the healing properties of the stones and their unique energy. Gemstones embody intense concentrations of energy that can amplify the body’s innate energies to uplift our health.
In addition to the wonderful healing properties of gemstones, they adorn us in the form of jewelry. Hurray! No wonder I have so much fun and peace when I work with them.
Starting with November, every month I will tell you a little bit about the birthstone for that particular month. Maybe you will get intrigued and find out more about them.
Enjoy!
November: Citrine
Citrine is a golden yellow variety of quartz. The yellow coloration is due to the presence of iron. Almost all citrine that is available on the market today is heat-treated amethyst. Most citrine comes from Brazil. Citrine is a 7.0 on the Mosh scale of hardness. In the Mosh scale talc hardness is 1.0 and diamond is 10.
It is a powerful stone that brings sun and warmth into the heart. It works especially well with nervousness and unrest, and promotes self-confidence and renewed determination.
Note: some birthstones charts have Topaz as the November stone. One day I maybe able to work with Topaz, in the meantime I will enjoy Citrine :)
