23rd Anniversary
gemstone: Imperial Topaz.
Twenty-three years — imperial topaz, the year that earned a title
Quick answer
The 23rd anniversary gemstone is Imperial Topaz. The 23rd anniversary gemstone is imperial topaz: the rare, natural orange-to-pink topaz named for Brazilian emperors, mined around Ouro Preto and almost nowhere else on earth. The title matters because most topaz on the market is colorless material tinted by laboratory treatment — but imperial topaz’s sherry-and-sunset color comes out of the ground that way, unheated, and carries the premium to prove it. Twenty-three years is the anniversary equivalent: past all the round numbers, nowhere near a jubilee, and distinguished purely by the quality of what it is.

23rd anniversary FAQ
What is the gemstone for the 23rd anniversary?
The 23rd anniversary gemstone is imperial topaz — the naturally orange-pink topaz mined near Ouro Preto, Brazil, and named in the emperors’ era. Unlike the common blue topaz (colorless material treated in labs), imperial topaz carries its sherry-to-sunset color from the ground, untreated.
Why does imperial topaz cost more than blue topaz?
Scarcity and nature. Blue topaz starts as abundant colorless topaz and gets its color from safe, standard irradiation; imperial topaz is one rare variety from essentially one mining region, sold on its natural, unheated color. You are paying for what the earth made rather than what the lab fixed — the honest premium of the twenty-third year.
