Topaz

Topaz is a stone from the silicate group. The most popular topazes have a blue hue. We distinguish several types of blue topazes: Sky Topaz, Swiss Topaz, London Blue Topaz. The name of the stone comes from the island where it was first found, Topazos (now Saint John's Island). Mentions of Topaz appear in the Bible and the Apocalypse of Saint John, as well as in many legends, proving that Topaz has been considered an exceptional stone since ancient times. It can be colorless or enchant with shades of yellow, pink, and blue. Golden Topaz acts like a battery, filling its owner with power, while Blue Topaz adds courage and confidence. Topaz scores 8 points on the Mohs hardness scale.
