History & Lore:
Topaz has long been related to desire and the name is believed to have been derived from the Sanskrit word 'tapas' meaning heat, fire and passion. It is also said to have been derived from the Greek word 'topazos' or 'topazion', meaning “to search.” Topazion was also the name of an island in the Red Sea which is commonly known as Zebirget or St. John's Island in Egypt.
The Egyptians believed Topaz would protect them from harm
because it was colored by the sun god Ra's golden arms. The Romans believed a similar theory and associated Topaz with their sun god, Jupiter.
Topaz has also been biblically referenced as one of the gemstones used to make the 'Breastplate of Judgment' worn by Aaron.
Topaz is said to increase the wearer’s intelligence, creativity and wisdom, and can enhance one's spiritual potential. It is also known to aid in meditation and in the divine manifestation of desired objects.
Topaz is said to bring physical and intellectual vigor, good health, and is said to offer protection against infectious diseases.
Topaz comes in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. Its brilliance and clarity are its chief attractions. A hard stone, Topaz is very difficult to scratch, although it can be brittle. Imperial Topaz occurs naturally in colors ranging from a light golden yellow to deep reddish orange. Red and intense pink are the rarest and desirable colors for Topaz. A gem with these colors will command a relatively high price. Bright orange colored Topaz, also known as Imperial Topaz, falls into the moderate price range and is easier to find. Blue Topaz, having a low to moderate price range, is very popular.
Himalayan Kyanite
Kyanite derives from the Greek word 'kyanos', meaning 'blue'. This rich, sapphire-like stone, with its luminescent transparency, is fast becoming one of the most highly sought-after items of
gemstone jewelry around.
Brilliant and eye-catching, this exquisite stone has been found in regions across the world such as Brazil, Kenya, Russia, Switzerland and India. Its intensity of blue can vary, ranging from watery hues to dappled or streaks within the stone, giving it an utterly unique and alluring appeal. The kyanite stone found in Nepal, however, is said to be the finest kyanite of all. Known for its rich, dark and velvet blue properties, the gemstone when crafted into Himalayan kyanite jewelry is regarded as the most superior of its kind.
It is widely believed to inspire many spiritual and mystic properties, including affording the wearer with insight and foresight, as well as a deeper understanding of their own sub-conscious thoughts. Owners of the beautiful, kyanite jewelry are also said to be blessed with healing powers, where the stone emits meditative and calming influences, as well as soothing anger and depression.
