How does topaz stone affect a person?
July 12, 2022 Topaz is a semi-precious stone with a glassy luster, a transparent mineral, the hardest in the class of silicates. In terms of hardness, topaz is second only to corundum and diamonds. The color palette is wide: there are specimens in blue, blue, pink, yellow, green and brown shades. By the way, nitrogen or mystic-colored topazes do not exist in nature: such colors are obtained using special spraying. This coating, unfortunately, wears off over time. Topaz has many interesting properties, for example, it is credited with the ability to relieve depression and protect against colds. The stone sharpens intuition, protects sailors from the violence of the elements, and helps childless couples conceive a child. Topaz is a powerful talisman, and if it is chosen correctly, the owner of such a talisman can receive many benefits.
Origin, deposits, price of topaz
Origin of the name
According to the first version, the stone was named after the island of Topazios, where the mineral was first discovered. This island is located in the Red Sea, now it is called Zeberged.
According to the second version, the name of the mineral is associated with the word “tapas”, which is translated from Sanskrit as “fire” or “heat”.
According to the third version, the stone received its name thanks to the Greek “topazos”, which means “search”.
Place of Birth
Topaz is not a rare stone; minerals are common in nature, and their weight can reach hundreds of kilograms. Due to the large specific gravity of the stone, it is called “heavy weight”. There are deposits in the Urals, Transbaikalia, Germany and Madagascar, Japan and the USA, Brazil and Australia. The main exporter to the world market is Brazil; it was in this country that the largest blue topaz was found – “Marabella” weighing 1,65 kg. The largest processed yellow topaz weighs 22 carats. Work on cutting this stone weighing about 892 kg took 4,5 years.
The largest topaz in the world was found in Ukraine, at the Volyn deposit. The weight of this specimen is 117 kg, height 82 cm, color wine yellow.
Color and price
Transparent blue specimens have long been called “Siberian diamonds.” Jewelers see the resemblance to diamonds in the density of the stone and the glassy shine characteristic of diamonds, which appears after cutting. Topaz crystals have an interesting property: when exposed to the sun for a long time, they lose color. That is why most minerals that are found near the surface of the earth are practically colorless. Many stones, before being used in jewelry, are refined – subjected to heat treatment and irradiation to obtain a more saturated color (about 99% of brightly colored topazes are refined). The cost of topaz is relatively low, which is why they are very popular in the jewelry industry. The price of a stone depends on its color: rich natural tones are valued higher. Treated stones, despite their brightness, are less valuable. The most expensive are natural stones in rich purple and pink shades and polychrome crystals, which have layers of different colors. The process of refining topaz is reliable: the color of the stones remains saturated for a long time. However, experts still advise remembering the sensitivity of minerals to light and high temperature. They recommend storing treated stones away from heat and light to prevent their color from fading.

What is topaz as a stone?
Topaz is a fluorinated aluminum silicate and can vary dramatically in color. It can be colorless, transparent blue, blue, yellow, orange, pink. Just a fireworks of colors! But in no case should one classify the beautiful and mysterious rauchtopaz as a member of the large and friendly family of topaz. This smoky quartz has nothing to do with topaz.
The word “topaz” itself means “fire, heat,” which is completely legitimate, since when cut correctly, this stone, especially of a warm yellow color, emits a shine similar to the mysterious and hot reflections of a night fire.
In terms of density, topaz is the leader among precious stones. And in the Urals, where it began to be mined only in the 18th century, it received the name “heavyweight”, since it is much heavier compared to other stones of the same type. It was then, in the 18th century, that it gained popularity in Russia, although in other countries it had been known and revered since ancient times. For almost a century, Russian jewelers called topaz nothing other than “Siberian diamond,” thereby recognizing that it is practically indistinguishable in brilliance and beauty from the king of precious stones.
There are many topaz deposits on the planet. They are found in Burma, Australia, USA, Japan, Scotland, England, the Urals and Ukrainian Volyn. The Volyn deposit is truly unique and has no equal in the quality and stunning beauty of the crystals discovered there. It was in Volyn in 1965 that an amazing wine-yellow handsome crystal weighing 117 kilograms was found. But the leader among those mined from the bowels of the earth is still considered to be the Brazilian crystal. It weighed more than five tons.
