History
There are various beliefs about the origins of the name Topaz: while some believe that the name comes from topazos derived from the name of the Topazios island, others believe that it is derived from the Sanskrit word tapazor topas which means “fire”.
To the Egyptians Topaz symbolized Ra, the sun god. Ra was the giver of life and fertility and Topaz was therefore considered as a powerful energy stone. The Hindus mainly believed in the protective properties of the gem. In antiquity, used mainly as a talisman, Topaz was believed to cure inflammations and sleepwalking. To the African Bushmen, Topaz is regarded as sacred and is used mainly in ceremonial rituals and shamanic work.
