There might be some fakes in the market that claim to be real topaz
gemstones. So you need to be careful when buying one.
The
gemstone gets its name from the Sanskrit word “tapas”, which means fire, and the Greek word “tapazos”, which means “to seek”. Much like
diamonds, white topaz and other color variants are usually mined. The term imperial topaz often refers to that and comes with several different hues. For instance,
yellow topaz is one naturally occurring variant, which symbolizes serenity and empathy.
According to centuries-old customs and
traditions, white topaz is believed to be a
promoter of harmony and a soothing
gemstone. In other words, if you wear topaz birthstone
rings, you become a person who lives stress-free and encourages forgiveness. It is also believed to have promoted the soul and spirit, and just as you keep using the
gemstone in one form or the other will help with your thought process.
