Topaz gems are one of the highly admired types of gemstones available in the present time. The name ‘Topaz' has derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Tapas' which means fire. Some people think that the Island of Topazos which is situated in the Red Sea is the origin of the stone and from that place the name has derived. The researchers say that in the ancient time a figure of a falcon was fashioned on a topaz and in the ancient age Topaz was considered as the perfect stone to acquire goodwill.
