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.
