Named in honor of the Russian monarchy that valued and wore this beautiful stone, the Imperial Topaz is a fantastic gemstone with beautiful peach, pink, orange and champagne hues.
The word “Topaz” comes from the Sanskrit word meaning fire. And the stone does have a fire like quality.
The ancient Egyptians believed that Ra, the Sun God is the one who gave Topaz its color. And the topaz was therefore highly valued by the ancient Egyptians. The Romans also believed it was the sun that gave the topaz its color.
