Topaz Tuesday

Did you know that Ancient Egyptians used to believe that the Topaz was colored by the golden glow of the mighty Sun God Ra, which gave it the power to protect the faithful against harm.

A Topaz can be Amber gold of or a pinkish/orangey color and any other color in between.  Very rare Topaz stones are a pale pink to a Burgundy color and are considered to be Precious Topaz.

The Blue Topaz is more readily available, most likely treated in color however if you ever come across a naturally blue colored topaz, it is considered a rarity.
