The World of Blue Topaz

Let us dive in, under the sea and together discover about this mesmerizing gem.

An ancient stone with a rich history of healing, love and power energies.

The rough for this mesmerizing blue gem comes from Brazil.

The origin is white, and we enhance them to light blue (SKY) deep blue (Swiss) and navy (London)

Blue topaz is known to be the #1 selling semi-precious gems in the country.

The birthstone of December and the anniversary gemstone for 4th, 19th and 23 rd year of marriage.

Everyone I know falls in love with this gem.   The saturation of the blue color, wants you to dive in and start swimming in the gem. It reminds me of ocean, vacation, sky and heaven.

Although topaz is a very hard gemstone, hardness of 8, which is on the scale of gems from 1-10, 10 being the hardness.  You can comfortably wear it day in and day out, but should be protected from hard knocks.

Many different cultures believe different spiritual meaning for topaz.  The Greeks believed it had power to increase strength, while the Romans believed it had power to improve eyesight.  And the Egyptians wore it as a sign to protect them from injury.
