History of the November Birthstone

Topaz is a remarkably hard and durable gemstone, typically found in igneous rocks, with the majority of today’s supply mined in Brazil. While pure topaz is naturally colorless, trace impurities can tint it in a spectrum of hues, making it one of the few gems that occur in nearly every color of the rainbow. The most prized variety, known as precious topaz, ranges from golden yellow to rich brownish-orange. Thanks to its brilliance, clarity, and durability, topaz is a popular choice in fine jewelry.
