Your Gemstone is Topaz



Comforting, considerate, and stable.

You are down to earth and grounded.



Hmmm, topaz. Well, let's see about topazes. From The Mineral Gallery "
  • Chemistry: Al 2 SiO 4 (F, OH) 3, Aluminum silicate fluoride hydroxide.
  • Class: Silicates
  • Subclass: Nesosilicates
  • Uses: gemstones and optical properties are useful in industry.
...Topaz is the hardest silicate mineral and one of the hardest minerals in nature....Topaz crystals can reach incredible size of several houndred pounds. Topaz can make very attractive mineral specimens due to their high luster, nice colors and well formed and multifaceted crystals."

Well that was informative. Unfortunately I wasn't born in November, but I'm useful, can get really big, and can cleave easily if hit in the right spot, but am hard the rest of the time. Huhn, well I guess that's actually a pretty accurate assessment.
