TOPAZ
One possible source for the name "topaz" is Topazos, the former name of Zebirget, an island in the Red Sea near an early topaz discovery. Tapaz, the Sanskrit word for "fire," is another possibility. Some experts believe that the stone originally named topaz was actually peridot. Red and pink topaz gems were used in the jewelry of the 18th and 19th Century Russian Czarinas and is why topaz is sometimes called "Imperial Topaz".
Topaz occurs in a range of magnificent colors -- blue, pale green, varying shades of yellow, pink, red, brown and even black. Pure topaz itself is a colorless stone. Red and some pink topaz get their colors from chromium that is substituted for aluminum in the crystals.
Topaz is a form of aluminum silicate fluoride hydroxide. Because of strong chemical bonds within this mineral, topaz is the hardest of silicate minerals.
This gem, with its lively fire, clarity, beautiful colors and hardness is ideal for jewelry such as clips, necklaces, brooches and bracelets. Pure topaz, when brilliantly cut, can be often mistaken for a diamond. Because of its rarity, topaz is an expensive gem. The most valued and rarest color is red. Imperial topaz -- sherry colored varieties of brownish-yellow, orangish yellow and reddish brown -- are the most popular topaz stones and command high prices, as do pink colored stones. Light blue and pale yellow topaz are of less value, but are nevertheless stunning in beauty.
Topaz has had various values attributed to it during its long history, including gentleness, fidelity, friendship, and integrity. It is also believed to bring its bearers and wearers love, wealth, and protection.
Mentioned in the Old Testament, the actual discovery of topaz is ancient and unknown. Some scholars believe the stone referred to in the Bible as topaz was actually peridot. The first real topaz gems--in the modern, scientifically accurate sense of the word--were yellow crystals found around 1737 in Germany.
The Egyptians believed that topaz was colored with the golden glow of the sun god Ra. The ancient Greeks believed that it had the power to increase one’s strength and make its wearer invisible in cases of emergency. The Romans associated topaz with Jupiter, who is also the god of the sun.
During the Middle Ages, the topaz was used mostly by royalty and clergy. A 13th century belief held that a topaz engraved with a falcon helped its wearer cultivate the goodwill of kings, princes and magnates.
Topaz was once thought to strengthen the mind, increase wisdom, and prevent mental disorders. It was thought to guard against sudden death. Powdered topaz added to wine was used to prevent asthma and insomnia. A cure for weak vision called for immersing the stone in wine for three days and nights, then rubbing the liquid on the eyes.
When worn as amulet, topaz was said to drive away sadness and strengthen the intellect. Mounted in gold and hung around the neck, it was believed to dispel bad charms. Reduced to powder and put in wine, topaz was a cure for insomnia, asthma, burns and hemorrhage. Topaz was also said to change its color in the presence of poisoned food or drink. All these mystical powers were believed to increase and decrease with the phases of the moon.
Unlike the blue and yellow varieties of the Topaz gemstone, Pink Topaz has not yet been accepted on the chart as a birthstone for any month of the year to date.
