The name topaz is most likely derived form the old
Sanskrit
word topaz (fire).
There is a common misconception that all
topaz is
yellow. Pure topaz is colorless,
but this well-loved
gem occurs in a broad range of
colors: yellow, brown, pink,
red, blue, and green. We offer few types of
quality blue topaz
in a wide range of shades.
Lore: Ancient Greeks called topaz the "Stone
of Strength."
During medieval times,
topaz was thought to heal both physical
and mental
disorders and prevent death.
