More About Golden Topaz:
Golden topaz was one of the first crystals discovered and used by humans, prized for its connection with the sun. It’s also known as one of the “Sunday Gemstones” both because its color associates it with the sun, and because this spiritual stone is traditionally valued for lifting curses (so it’s connected with the holy day of Sunday). Its oldest known use is for protection by turning away the evil eye, and ever since it has been associated with just about anything related to healing the eyes.
For instance Saint Hildegard von Bingen went so far as to claim that a piece of topaz taken into a dark chapel would give off so much light, you could even read a prayer book by it! She also recommended a crystal elixir of sorts for eye ailments: topaz soaked in wine and applied to the eyelids, with the leftover wine used as an eyewash over the next few days.
Historically, Topaz was said to have another odd power. When placed in anything poisonous, it was said to become invisible (Don’t try this at home!). In the modern day, people still see Topaz as a stone of light that can surround us with a golden and spiritual glow. This sunny crystal is also known to be useful for spiritual development.
Hi Ashley…Do you know of a good place or website/store that I would be able to purchase an Imperial Golden or Reddish Topaz? It is my Birthstone, and I had no idea of all the metaphysical properties of the Topaz until I read your blog. You always enlighten me with such good info.
I am looking for an Imperial Topaz that I could wire-wrap myself, (to save money), and wear as a pendent. Each and every one of the properties you mentioned would benefit me so much.
Thank you, Angela
Hello,
Great info. Do you sell these crystals? I’m interested in buying
A friend for 73 years passed recently, we had drifted physically apart but hearts still beat in similar rhythm. He left many things home horse farm, but for me he left an Imperial topaz natural crystal pendant in the most intricate and detailed silver setting. On new years eve I scrounged some sandalwood beads, 107, from an old Mala, added a Lapis bead at one end and a malachite at the other to create 108 beads then i dropped the string through the sandalwood bead 107 and connected it with brass wire (copper & zinc) To the Imperial topaz. I just discovered today what the crystal was It hangs over my heart area and represents fire and earth; and I am a very water signed guy and wear my symbol surrounding a very rare Shri Lanken Cat Eye Moon Stone around my neck. Now I discovered that the Mala contains Earth, Fire and Wind; while its caretaker carries his birthstone , and water to complete the energy. My friends gift to me transcended all other gifts. This Mala capped in Imperial Topaz will renew the Shen-U in me and connects me strongly to all the other 3 elements. Great stone, Greatest gift. I Am blessed and more so to exude this healing power wherever the Mala goes with me.
