topazes
November's birthstone gems
Topazes is the plural of topaz, a hard silicate mineral used as a gemstone.
Pure topaz is colorless, but impurities create yellow, blue, pink, and other varieties.
Yellow topaz is the traditional November birthstone.
The word sometimes describes a golden-yellow color: eyes the color of topazes.
