The exact origin of the name Topas is not entirely clear. The origin may lie in the Sanskrit word "Tapaz", which means "fire".
The mostly very shiny gemstones have been very popular as gemstones for a few years, especially in various shades of blue. The meanings "sky blue", "Swiss blue" and "London blue" denote the gradations of the blue tones of the topaz. The topaz is also available in other color variants, such as the mystical topaz, which shines in pink and green colors.
But the topaz is not only so popular because of its diverse range of colours. As a healing stone, it should ensure more open-mindedness and reduce nervousness. It promotes mental development and helps to achieve mental stability. The topaz should provide creative people with a clear view of essential details.
Topaz is also December's birthstone.
