Etymology

The word 'topaz' has its origins in the Latin term 'topazus', which came from the Greek word 'topazion'. This Greek term originally referred to a yellow gemstone found on the island of Topazos (now known as Zabargad) in the Red Sea. Historically, topaz was believed to have healing properties and was associated with various myths. In ancient times, topaz was often confused with other yellow gemstones, such as citrine and amber. Over the centuries, the term has evolved to include a wider variety of colored stones, although the most well-known varieties are still blue and yellow. Today, topaz is cherished not only for its beauty but also for its metaphysical properties, including the belief that it can foster harmony and balance in one's life.
