November's birthstone is topaz. It is a brown, green, red, pink, yellow, white, or blue gem, with blue being the most popular choice. In ancient Egypt and Rome, this gemstone was believed to protect and heal the wearer, protecting them from harm. Adding to that, it is also reported to be calming, healing, calming tempers, and restoring sanity, thus preventing nightmares and restoring a sense of sanity. Topaz is generally considered a colourless gemstone, however, due to the chemical reactions and elements present, it can appear in a variety of colours, including blue. We have a beautiful collection of jewellery associated with the November birthstone.
Topaz is a gemstone that gets its name from the ancient Greek name of an island in the Red Sea known as St. John's Island, which used to be famous for mining yellow stones. As a matter of fact, throughout history, all yellow gems were regarded as topaz, and all topaz was regarded as yellow.
