HISTORY

Topaz has many colors and has therefore often been confused with other gemstones. Topaz is named after the island, Topazios - now known as Zabargad. This island is a major source of mining for the gemstone Peridot, but when the island was named it was supposedly believed to be Topaz. In the Portuguese crown jewels there is also a large Topaz, which was thought to be a Diamond.

A Roman legend tells that if you put a Topaz in your food or drink, it would change color if it was poisoned. In ancient Egypt it was believed that Topaz would protect the wearer, while in India it was believed that if Topaz was worn over the heart, it would ensure the wearer a long life.
