In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/period\/victorian\/\">Victorian<\/a> times, citrine became popular as a symbol of happiness and frequently appeared in Scottish jewelry.

An 8 on the Mohs scale, it&#8217;s a durable option for everyday wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Citrine gets its yellow to golden brown hues from trace amounts of iron within quartz crystals. Natural citrine is rare. Much of the citrine on the market today is unnatural heat-treated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiquejewellerycompany.com\/shop\/material\/amethyst\/\">amethyst<\/a> or smoky quartz. With a Mohs hardness of 7, citrine is durable enough for most types of jewelry, though it benefits from careful handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-care-and-maintenance-for-topaz-and-citrine\">Care and Maintenance for Topaz and Citrine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Topaz and Citrine are fairly resilient but benefit from a bit of mindful care to retain their radiance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid Excessive Heat<\/strong>: Topaz and Citrine can be sensitive to extreme temperature changes, which can alter their color. It\u2019s best to avoid wearing them in hot environments like saunas or during intense sun exposure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cleaning Tips<\/strong>: Clean either stone gently with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners for citrine, as they can cause fractures or discoloration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage<\/strong>: Store topaz and citrine jewelry separately from harder gemstones to avoid scratches, especially for topaz, which can be brittle under heavy impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion-warmth-and-positivity-in-november\">Conclusion: Warmth and Positivity in November<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Topaz and Citrine embody the golden hues of November, offering energies of prosperity, clarity, and resilience.
