The November Birthstone is Topaz

The birthstone for November is yellow-orange Topaz and the November birthstone color is Yellow. The warm yellow-orange Topaz gemstone, also known as Imperial Topaz, is associated with constancy, loyalty, faithfulness and friendship.

Pure topaz is actually transparent but impurities within the crystal create varieties of topaz in many colors. In addition to the yellow to orange range, topaz also occurs in exquisite shades of blue, pale green, pink and red.

Some references say the name Topaz originates from Sanskrit tapas meaning ‘fire’ or ‘heat’. Others references say the name came from an Egyptian island in the Red Sea originally called Topazos - where a yellow stone was mined.
