The Story: Often confused with aquamarine or sapphire, topaz is a fascinating gem whose origin dates back to ancient times. It takes its name from the Greek word “topazion”, which refers to an island in the Red Sea, where it is believed to have been discovered. However, topazes come from various parts of the world, including Brazil, Sri Lanka, and Mexico. This gemstone, which comes in many colors, is often associated with symbols of happiness, prosperity, and protection. It is renowned for strengthening friendship, fostering creativity, and bringing wisdom.
