Topaz information and Blue Topaz Jewelry

Topaz - the magical gemstone

Blue topas is surely one of the most beautiful gem stones - the colour of a clear sky on a lovely summer day.

Although topaz has been used for centuries, blue topaz is a recent addition to the fine jewelry collection. This is because all blue topaz that we use today is safely irradiated to enhance the depth of its blue colour. This process allows us to enjoy the gorgeous blue of the topaz to the full extent.

Topaz is naturally found in a number of colours - most frequently orange, yellow, brown, green and in-between shades. There are also pink to sherry-red topaz gemstones that are very rare and very valuable.

The reason we have dubbed topaz the "magical gemstone" is that topaz has the honour of being associated with the most magical/mythical properties. Topaz was believed to dispel enchantments, improve eyesight, increase stength and to even make the wearer invisible in an emergency. Topaz was also supposed to be able to protect one from poisoning, by changing colour in the presence of poison. Topaz was also believed to cure insomnia, asthma, haemorrhages and to prevent sudden death.

But legends aside, topaz is a very strong and durable stone, making it a practical as well as beautiful decoration of fine jewelry. Blue topaz is the birthstone for December and is the recommended gemstone for fourth anniversaries.
