The history of topaz spans many centuries and a multitude of civilizations. The derivation of the name topaz is unclear. Some sources suggest the name was derived from the Red Sea island Topazos. Other sources state that the name comes from the Sanskit root tapas (fire) which alludes to the color of reddish-orange topaz crystals. Most jewelry consumers are familiar with the various shades of blue topaz found in the market. Topaz can also be found in colorless, brown, green, orange, pink, red, and yellow coluors.
