BLUE TOPAZ AND CITRINE
presented by Modesty Blaze

Topaz is the birthstone of November.
Traditionally for years, the choice was Blue Topaz.
In the 1980's, citrine became a popular
choice for the November birthstone.
Many of you are already saying 'nooooooooooooo.'

So, let's write about Blue Topaz.
It is clear, a true light blue.
As well, topaz comes in golden yellow
orangeyellow,red,honeybrown,lightgreen,sherry.
The most valuable is Pink Topaz.
Orangered is called Imperial Topaz.

Special Powers:
Topaz gives strength.
The Greeks thought topaz had more curative powers
than any other gemstone.
It restored sanity, cured asthma, relieved insomnia,
cooled tempers, warded off death...
It changed colors in the presence of poison
according to Middle Age beliefs.

Topaz is found in
Brazil,Nigeria,Sri Lanka,Pakistan,China

CITRINE: The November birthstone alternative
comes in many colors also.
It is much less expensive than Topaz,
very abundant, even in large sizes.

"A woman without a ring is like
perfume without a scent"
maggieblue says that

"A ring without a stone has to be
heavy silver or gold, preferably gold..."
maggieblue says that too

~also~

Rings on the fingers,
rings on the toes...
but do not think
a ring in the nose.

A jewel in the nose might be nice
a diamond, sapphire, citrine
would suffice.

But pearls in the nose,
that's really a 'Tskkkkkkkkkkkkkk...'
Who has sniffed up a pearl
knows this is a risk!
maggieblue says that too

Au Revoir, Beloved.
