November’s birthstone, topaz is usually light brown or colorless when mined. The pristine ocean hue of fine blue topaz, like the example above, looks similar to high-quality aquamarine (although topaz is more common and less expensive). Topaz has been used for thousands of years and has often been considered both a protective talisman as well as a symbol of beauty and splendour. In Rome, this gem was dedicated to the powerful king of the gods, Jupiter. Blue topaz is associated especially with self expression, a key component in relationships. This vibrant gem is an ideal choice to enhance your connection and increase intimacy.
