Beautiful topaz is available in several colours. The best known are honey yellow from golden brown to deeper orange as in the ring above as well as blue.

Topaz also exists in pink and transparent white.

According to the legend, in lithotherapy, topaz was mainly used to treat eye diseases. If a person started to lose their vision, they had to put the topaz stone in wine for three days and three nights. (!) Nowadays, it is  used to develop the joy of life and restore self-confidence .
