Thanksgiving and Golden Topaz go hand-in-hand in November. Fall leaves, first snow and lots of turkey and stuffing... and of course the big after Thanksgiving Day sales - oh my!Golden Topaz is the gem stone for November. Pure topaz may be colorless and when brilliant-cut, has been mistaken for diamond. The Golden Topaz most likely comes from Siberia where the "brown" topazes are particulary liable to be bleached by sunlight. In any case, the color is unstable. We offer a synthetic Golden Topaz that is sure to please anyone who sees this beautiful gem stone. Other choices for November include the Citrine, a natural gem stone with a deep golden color, and the canary yellow cubic zirconia... a paler version of Golden Topaz. Due to the durability and availability of Citrine, it is one of the most affordable gem stones, which makes it quite suitable as a substitute for Golden Topaz. |
The ancients thought that Citrine had the ability to protect its wearer from evil thoughts... and travelers would carry Citrine to help protect them from venomous snakes. Most Citrine is mined in Brazil and is sometimes referred to as topaz quartz, which is a false assumption. Citrine starts out as Amethyst and is then heated to 880 degrees Fahrenheit to create the golden yellow color; the lighter the shade of Amethyst the more golden color the Citrine. Due to this heat treatment it is recommended that Citrine be kept away from extreme or prolonged exposure to heat or strong light.
