Topaz is found in a delicious variety of colors, from a clear and transparent gem, through delicate blues, tender pinks, to deep purples and browns. Some believe that its name comes from the Sanskrit "tapas" which means fire, and since ancient times it has been associated with various benefits, among them, the ancient Greeks believed that it gave strength, and in the Middle Ages it was believed that it dissipated anger. For its part, in India, it was believed that wearing it over the heart ensured long life, beauty and intelligence.
