Question: I believe there are more people with the November birthstones that don’t like their birthstone. What month are you glad is NOT your birthstone? Maybe it’s your stone, but either way, what’s your least favorite Birthstone. You can’t love them all. Let me know.

Topaz

Topaz is more well known for blue(but of course that is fake)
A common natural topaz color is yellow to orange and brown. it is common in warm tones. orangey red to red are typically the most valuable.
8 on MOHs but you need to be careful of its cleavage. they break easily in rings.

Fun facts
because it takes such a high polish it is known for being a slippery gemstone
Known for some massive natural crystals -one in brazil was 596 pounds
Pleochroic-one of my favorite words as well as stone characteristics
The stone shows different colors at different viewing angles.


While there is some versatility in these birthstones, most of their merits are based on price and size availability.
