Topaz History and Uses:
The name Topaz may derive from Topazos, a word meaning 'to seek', the other possible derivation of the name is the Sanskrit word tapaz, which means 'fire'. In current metaphysical thought, Topaz is viewed as emanating a variety of beneficial energies, varying according to the type and colour. Believed to be first discovered in Germany, 1737 and then again in Brazil in the 1740s.
Topaz was renowned as a crystal with healing properties long before Europe’s appreciation of the gemstone as an allegory of status and wealth. For centuries the gemstone was shrouded in various myths held by different kingdoms, some of them were popular like the Ancient Egyptians believed that the sun god Ra had created the beautiful yellow hues resulting in the stone’s power to protect the wearer.
The Ancient Romans on the other hand did not share these beliefs, but they did believe that the crystal could protect the owner from poison.
Topaz also held great importance in nineteenth century Russia as at that time the Ural Mountains were the gemstone’s leading source and the pink topaz mined there was named to honour the Russian czar. The ownership of the gem was highly restricted to the use of the royal family only.

Its crystal structure is orthorhombic, and it frequently forms prismatic crystals, often eight sided with striations along the length.
