Stone of the month November - Topaz, Yellow Sapphire & Citrine
Topaz
According to Pliny, the name topaz was derived from the Island of Topazos in the Red Sea, which probably refers to Zeberged, ancient source for peridot. But it is more likely that the name derives from the Sanskrit word «tapas» meaning fire.
When worn as amulet, topaz was said to drive away sadness and strengthen the intellect.
Mounted in gold and hung around the neck, it was believed to dispel bad charms.
Reduced to powder and put in wine, topaz was a cure for insomnia, asthma, burns and hemorrhage.
Topaz was also said to change its color in the presence of poisoned food or drink.
All these mystical powers were believed to increase and decrease with the phases of the moon.
The natural blue crystals found in Texas and in the Ural Mountains of Russia are not mined in enough quantities to meet the demand for inexpensive transparent blue gems. White or light blue topaz is commonly irradiated and heat treated to become blue. These stones are stable in natural light but not under the jeweler’s torch, where its color reverses to white.
Natural brownish-yellow stones are heated to become pink.
Brown or « champagne » topaz, even though it is a natural stone, looses its color when exposed to sunlight or strong electrical lighting.
