Topaz has been known as a powerful magnetic stone through the ages that attracts love and fortune. It has been mentioned in the bible and is one of the gemstones that adorn the twelve holy gates of Jerusalem. Having been discovered over 2000 years ago Topaz gems are so called apocalyptic stones. They are known to protect against enemies and are used as a symbol of splendour and love. It is also said that if you wear Blue Topaz along with Moonstone it may help to encourage the right mindset and willpower for weight loss.

Along with Citrine, Topaz is the birth stone for November. It is also a suggested wedding gift of the 23rd anniversary, but makes a wonderful gift for all occasions. This is a fantastic gem to use in jewellery not only for its stunning colours but also because of its durability. It reaches 8 on the mohs hardness scale.

Topaz is found in many places around the world such as Brazil, Sri Lanka, Mexico, China, Afghanistan, Australia, Japan, Madagascar, Namibia, Nigeria, Ukraine, United States and Zimbabwe. Natural light blue can also be found in England (Cornwall), Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland.
