Topaz is commonly thought of as a sky-blue gem, but it was not until this century that blue topaz became widespread on the gem market. Natural blue topaz with a deep hue is very uncommon in nature; colourless to light hued stones are heat-treated to achieve the blue colour. It closely resembles the finest aquamarine (which is very expensive today) and offers a very attractive, and much more affordable alternative.
The ancient Greeks believed that topaz could render the wearer invisible to help one conquer one’s enemies. The Romans on the other hand linked topaz with eyesight, as they believed that wearing the stone could help improve and protect one’s sight. Topaz receives its name from the Sanskrit word for fire.
Care and caution must be exercised with topaz gems, for its perfect cleavage may cause it to chip or form internal flaws if hit too hard.
Topaz of all different colours are used in jewellery. The orange, pink, and blue colours are most often cut for gems, and colourless topaz is sometimes cut with the brilliant cut, resembling diamond.
Wearing a Blue Topaz Gemstone is said to awaken intuition and ease loneliness. Earrings, wrist and ankle bracelets and necklaces are the best choices for wearing jewellery as they allow the vibrations of the stones to work more closely with the body’s natural pulse points. In this way, the gemstones truly become therapeutic.
