November’s birthstone is the topaz. Its name originated from ‘tapas,’ the Sanskrit word for fire. Considered a powerful stone with strong protective powers, this fiery gemstone was thought to reveal deceptions, protect against poison, promote good health, and even improve your love life.
The topaz symbolized the Sun god in Egypt, and shamans in Africa considered it sacred. In ancient Greece, it was used to promote strength and help heal, and many believe that whoever owns a topaz will soon become wealthy. Often linked to the phases of the moon, the Topaz is found in a variety of colors, including yellow, blue, pink, peach, violet, brown, and orange.
