What are the origins of topaz?

The name topaz comes from the Greek "topazus" "topazion" or "topazon". The word was said to be derived from an African dialect spoken by ancient people still unknown until today.

According to the legend of Pliny the Elder, the discovery of topaz dates back to the first century on the island of St. John off the Egyptian coast. This foggy island was infested with snakes that were the guardians of topaz. The famous precious stone gave the island a fairy-like brightness that defied the night and its darkness.

The virtues and therapeutic powers of topaz in lithotherapy

The effects of topaz vary according to its color. It is up to you to choose the one that suits you best.

The mystical properties of topaz

Topaz was the stone of the nobility because according to legend it brought wealth, prosperity, glory, and the recognition of one’s peers. It was reputed to bring treasures. Faced with the unknown, the gemstone gives self-confidence and allows one to meet any challenge.

The virtues of topaz on health

Thanks to their extraordinary powers, gemstones are used in lithotherapy to treat certain diseases.

According to the legend, topaz was mainly used to treat eye diseases. If a person started to lose their vision, they had to put the topaz stone in wine for three days and three nights. In the evening, at bedtime, the patient had to touch their eyes with the dripping topaz stone in order for the liquid to penetrate. After a few days, the patient regained perfect vision.

Today, we know that topaz does not act in the same way depending on its color. The blue topaz acts on:

  • flu-like conditions
  • viruses
  • it helps to relax the nerves
  • promotes public speaking
  • makes you more tolerant

Imperial (golden) topaz has very positive effects on:

  • reducing fatigue
  • gives courage and joy of living
  • acts on the spleen and liver.

The pink topaz favors love relationships, developing charm and tenderness, while the green topaz, rarer, acts on the dysfunctions of the heart.
