 NOVEMBER BIRTHSTONE - TOPAZ
Topaz is a common gemstone that has been used for centuries in jewelry.
Its golden brown to yellow color is classic but is confused with the less valuable citrine, which is
sometimes wrongly sold under the name topaz.
The blue topaz that is often confused with aquamarine is rarely natural and is produced by irradiating and then heating clear crystals.
Topaz is the November Birthstone and the
Sagittarius Zodiac stone.
Topaz is the hardest silicate mineral and one of the hardest minerals in nature.
Topaz crystals can reach incredible size of several hundred pounds.
Topaz can make very attractive mineral specimens due to their high luster, nice colors and well formed and multifaceted crystals.
Topaz may be colorless, yellow, orange, red, blue and green.
