I am Topaz. I am the colors of the sunset and of the sea. I am the enduring
symbol of love and affection. Wear me and I will bring you friendship
and ensure the fidelity of the one you love.
Topaz is found in Brazil, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Africa and China. It occurs
in an array of colors from red, orange, peach, pink, gold and yellow.
The brilliant blue Topaz is a shade found rarely in Nature. However, when
enhanced to this lovely blue color, it is in great demand due to its affordability
and availability in a wide range of sizes and shapes.
Early discoveries from Brazil in rich reddish cognac colors to vivid
pinks, were used to grace the jewelry of the 18th and 19th Century Russian
Czarinas, hence earning the moniker of "Imperial Topaz."
The birthstone for November, Topaz is a talisman for the sign of Sagittarius
and is the suggested gift for the 23rd anniversary.
