What is "topaz"?
Topaz is a silicate mineral that can be found in a variety of colors, including brown, yellow, orange, blue, and pink and is often used in jewelry making due to its high clarity, brilliance, and hardness. It is believed to have healing properties and spiritual significance and has been used for centuries in various cultures for its therapeutic and metaphysical properties. While topaz occurs naturally, many of the stones used in jewelry are heat-treated to enhance their color and clarity. Topaz is also the birthstone for November, making it a popular choice for birthday gifts and special occasions.
