November Birthstones:

Topaz-Colorless topaz that’s been treated to blue is a mass-market gem, but fine pink-to-red, purple, or orange gems are one-of-a-kind. Top sources include Ouro Prêto, Brazil, and Russia’s Ural Mountains. Citrine-This gemstone’s color comes from traces of iron. Citrine is perhaps the most popular and frequently purchased yellow gemstone and an attractive alternative for topaz and yellow sapphire. Source:  Gemological Institute of America.

Did You Know?

Kislev, the 9th month of the religious year on the Hebrew calendar, is best known for Hanukkah (the Festival of Lights). Amethyst, known in Hebrew as achlamah, is deeply significant to Kislev because it embodies the spiritual themes of dreams, health, and healing that define the month. Kislev begins at sundown on Monday, November 9th. Source: chabad.org.
