Something
Extra:
Although Topaz of any
color is the birthstone for November, other Gemstones have also been used
as a November birthstone
substitute. Previously Yellow was the dominant color used in birthstone
jewelry. But many of
the stones used by manufacturers in these inexpensive settings were actually
Citrine, a Yellow variety
of Quartz. Smoky Quartz was also called Smoky "Topaz" by many
unscrupulous persons
and unknowing jewelers in an attempt to create more sales in this birth
month.
