ooooh, that's citrus ice cream? I thought it was a cupcake!
Cheap alternative would probably be synthetic stones, no?
So November is Topaz? Let's see, October is opal, November is Topaz, December is ??, January is garnet.... uh.... I don't know many of these. :qsweat:

Yeah
It rolled slightly on me when I took the pic, so the words were hidden

There's also flowers for each month
Citrine is the alternate stone
Seems not every month has an alternate?

that's a very bluish emerald in the photo there....
Huh.
Neat...
I love the color of the peridot they show :qh:
And two of the months have three choices? Yikes, how'd that happen? Conflicting advertisements, maybe?

So do you like topaz or citrine better?

topaz can come in a lot of colors? And citrine can be a deep orange through light champagne to almost clear....
but if you don't like the yellows, then you prefer topaz, right? Because it can come in other shades? (Or maybe hues. I get those mixed up a lot)


I've always thought Citrine was like candy corn; white (clear) base, darker colors going up towards the top through yellow to orange....
or maybe I'm reversing the candy cane color order. Whatever. It reminds me of candy corn.

Diamonds come in multiple colors, but people think of the clear one when you say it
I think some of the other ones have different colors, but I think topaz and citrine are still yellow range

Meh, perceptions can be changed remarkably quickly when no one has an emotional investment at stake. Would only take the right ad or movie or meme and that'd shift.
