Topaz

Topaz is a transparent mineral that is colored by rainbow colors in yellow, orange, brown, blue or pink. Its appearance is very close to fluorite; however, compared to fluorite, topaz has a different crystalline structure.

The name topaz comes from the Greek name of the island of "Topasos", located in the Red Sea, and it is such a misunderstanding. The ancient Greeks brought a golden-green stone to their native land and named it by the name of the island.

However, what they brought was not topaz, but olivine. Topaz was described in the 17th century in the first book about minerals and precious stones by Thomas Nicols.

In Europe, topaz occurs in Norway, Sweden, Italy and Germany. Topaz is also famous in the Czech Republic near Krupka u Ústí nad Labem as well as in Horní Slavkov near Karlovy Vary.

Jewelry with topaz

Pure and colorless topazes coming from Texas, for example, are sometimes used for jewelry as a cheaper diamond substitute. Topazes are very similar to diamonds, especially after grinding into diamond cuts, but they do not have brilliance like diamonds.

Topazes also have a high hardness, at the Mohs hardness scale they are on the 8th place out of 10, so they are quite resistant. What makes topaz delicate is temperature changes, especially sensitive to high temperatures, which are used by some precious stone processors, which, at high temperatures, topaz the brown color to a rare pink topaz.

How to clean topaz

If we use topaz for healing, it is good to cleanse the stone from the energies we passed it to, and at the same time recharge it with the positive energies which it delivers to us. Topaz is cleansed under a stream of lukewarm water or by laying on a crystal drose on which we can even charge it. Someone is charging stones in the sunlight, but we would not recommend it because topaz would lose color, whether it be blue or yellow.
