Gemstone Spotlight: Topaz and Citrine








Golds, browns, yellows and oranges dominate nature this time of year and the same holds true for November's birthstones - topaz and citrine.














Topaz is famous for its warm, golden, autumn-like tones.  But topaz comes in a wide range of colors, including yellow, pink, purple, orange and blue.  In its purest form, topaz in colorless - its the gases and other minerals trapped inside the crystals that give it color.















The most prized color of topaz is Imperial topaz, named after the Russian czars of the 1800's.  Its has a magnificent orange body color with pinkish undertones.















Warm, sunny citrine is a variety of quartz in colors ranging from a juicy lemon yellow to a bright orangey brown.  Its name is derived from the French word "citron", meaning lemon.  Its glorious golden and yellow colors are the perfect complement to the warm tones of fall wardrobes.




Whether you're a November baby, or not - embrace the warm golden tones of fall with beautiful topaz and citrine jewelry!
