| Topaz |
A topaz is a beautiful yellow/orange stone typically and is very hard to tell apart from a citrine (unless it has a different color, such as blue or brown). Citrine gems are often sold for a higher price, with vendors selling them off as topaz. It is named for Topazos, the small island in the Red sea where the Romans first found topaz.

Like most gemstones, topaz are graded by their cut, clarity, color and weight. It's color ranges from dull to strong to vivid (vivid being the most expensive
color of gemstone). It is the birthstone for those born in November and is a sign of constancy, loyalty, faithfulness and friendship.
