1 November's birthstones are the topaz (particularly, yellow) which symbolizes friendship and the citrine. 2  Its birth flower is the chrysanthemum.  The zodiac signs for the month of November are Scorpio (until November 21) and Sagittarius (November 22 onwards).
The second of the modern December birthstones is Blue Topaz. Its name comes either from the Sanskrit word âtapasâ which means fire, the symbol of love and fidelity, or the greek word âtopazosâ which means âgreen gemstoneâ. As a precious stone, Topaz became known only in the classical era.
