November birthdays are particularly sunny, but that doesn’t have anything to do with the weather. Citrine, November’s birthstone, is known for its yellow hue and is believed by some to hold the powers of the sun—but whether or not you buy into crystal therapy, it’s a particularly cheerful stone to bring into your space.

Citrine, also known as yellow quartz, can range in hues from light, greenish yellow to golden amber, but as a color, it’s most considered as be the former. The stone is thought to banish negative thoughts and promote success, and by bringing the hue into your home, you can, at the very least, energize your space with some lively yellow accents. Whether you’re a November baby or not, these citrine-inspired picks are an easy way to refresh your home in anticipation of cooler, darker, late autumn days.
