The Symbolism of the November Birthstone Named Topaz

There might be some fakes in the market that claim to be real topaz gemstones. So you need to be careful when buying one.

The gemstone gets its name from the Sanskrit word “tapas”, which means fire, and the Greek word “tapazos”, which means “to seek”. Much like diamonds, white topaz and other color variants are usually mined. The term imperial topaz often refers to that and comes with several different hues. For instance, yellow topaz is one naturally occurring variant, which symbolizes serenity and empathy.

According to centuries-old customs and traditions, white topaz is believed to be a  promoter of harmony and a soothing gemstone. In other words, if you wear topaz birthstone rings, you become a person who lives stress-free and encourages forgiveness. It is also believed to have promoted the soul and spirit, and just as you keep using the gemstone in one form or the other will help with your thought process.
