This month’s birthstone is a topaz. Although citrine is more commonly known as a November birthstone, its similar shades are often confused with a topaz. They are more known for their yellow tones, but can be actually be found in multitude shades of pink, orange and blue! However, today we’ll be shining the light on the less common, blue topaz!
They can generally be found in three different shades: pale sky blue, cool Swiss blue, and deep London blue. These sparkly stones evoke images of the wind, sky and water. The color blue is often associated with clear thinking, relaxation and peace. They help channel calming energies and fight off negative emotions. Blue topaz is particularly popular to artists as it helps bring out creative inspiration and increases one’s appreciation of beauty.
November babies, you are in luck as we have a wonderful selection of Leah Alexandra’s London blue topaz from her Fall collection in store!
