citrine

Actually both. They are both considered the birthstone for November. I speculate this is likely due to the rarity of yellow topaz (NOT to be confused with blue topaz) and abundance of citrine.

It wasn't changed, it is still a topaz. Some may want it to be citrine because it is a cheaper stone to purchase. Not to mention...semi-presious.
