Topaz is November's birthstone. The ancient Greeks and Romans greatly valued topaz as a gemstone. Small wine-yellow ‘Saxonian topaz’ was mined at Schneckenstein in the Erzgebirge Mountains, Saxony, Germany, in medieval times, and these specimens were worn in jewelry by several rulers. Topaz was a prized but rare stone from the Middle Ages until discoveries of larger deposits in Brazil in the mid 19th century.

Topaz helps with health, trust and true love.
