Topaz gets its name from the Greek word topazion, which may originate from the Sanskrit word tapas, meaning, fire. Topaz occurs in a wide range of colors, it is the birthstone for the month of November, along with Citrine, and the stone given in celebration of the 4th and 19th anniversaries of marriage. It is usually very clear in its mineral composition. The blue variety has been associated with metaphysical ideas of reflecting the energy of the mind, stimulating one’s self-confidence and ability to learn and think through complex concepts and ideas .
Serene, cool Blue Chalcedony, ethereal yet solid, was historically the birthstone for May. Chalcedony was used as talismans by the Assyrians and Babylonians as far back as 4000 B.C. The ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome used varieties of Chalcedony in jewelry and carvings.
