Birth Stone Lore:

Topaz can come in a variety of colours including pink, blue and rare orange.  However the November stone is best represented in Yellow Topaz.  Yellow Topaz is a stone of the Sun God, and connects it’s wearer with the element of Fire.  Those that wear these stones have increased abilities in granting and making wishes, as well as magnifying dreams and aiding in their coming true.  Topaz have long been connected with the Falcon, and when seen together the symbolism conveys royalty and nobility as well as good fortune and strength.

Citrine is a yellow quartz, a bringer or wealth and privilege.  It’s name is the French word for Lemon, much like it’s natural colour.  Citrine is youthful and fresh, it is a symbol of fidelity and loyalty.

Pearl is a symbol of purity, of the Goddess in Her Maiden aspect.  It is said to be bad luck to wear pearls on a Wedding day, and good luck to receive them as a gift upon a first anniversary.  Pearls are a gift of true love.

Diamonds are a symbol of love and clarity.  They are a stone of protection, as evil is repelled by its natural inner light.  Diamonds can also add power to any other stones they are set into an arrangement with, as they reflect all positive vibrations.
