TOPAZ

Topaz is named from the Greek word "topazion" for a type of gemstone, probably after the Sanskrit word "tapas" which means fire, alluding to the brilliance of gem-quality material. Topaz has been known from antiquity.

Pure topaz is colorless and transparent but is found in many colors and shades such as is wine, yellow, pale gray, reddish-orange, or blue brown because they are tinted with impurities. It can also be white, pale green, blue, gold, pink (rare), reddish-yellow or opaque to transparent/translucent.

Most colours of topaz are fairly common and therefore are generally affordable. But red and pink topaz are rare, highly sought after, and thus are more valuable. Among them Imperial (reddish-orange) topaz is one of the most valuable ones. The deeper the shades of orange and red in a topaz gemstone the higher its value increases. The most commonly used colors of Topaz in jewelry are the blue types.

Topaz gemstones have many properties such as, the  Golden Topaz is an energizer, the Blue Topaz helps to stimulate the throat chakra, Clear topaz is a transformative gemstone which helps to facilitate karmic clearings and soul healings.
