November Birthstone - Topaz

Topaz Color
Most topaz is yellow, but it exists in other colors, including red, golden-brown, green, blue, and pink. Yellow topaz is sometimes heat treated to change its color to pink or red.

Topaz Folklore
Topaz was thought to calm tempers and give its wearer strength. Powders ground from the gem were used to treat asthma and insomnia.

Citrine

Citrine, a form of quartz, is an affordable choice for November birthstone jewelry.
