Introduction<\/h1>\n

November babies are blessed with warmth. According to the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA)<\/b>, their official birthstones are topaz and citrine<\/a><\/b>. Both glow in golden hues, perfect for autumn birthdays.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t be fooled: while they may look similar, topaz and citrine<\/a> have wildly different personalities. Topaz<\/b> is like Aishwarya Rai<\/b> (regal, luxurious, occasionally misunderstood), while citrine<\/b> is like Kangana Ranaut<\/b> (fiery, outspoken, affordable \u2014 and sometimes controversial).<\/p>\n
