Topaz

The Egyptians said that topaz was colored with the golden glow of the mighty sun god Ra. The Romans associated topaz with Jupiter, who also is the god of the sun. Topaz sometimes has the amber gold of fine cognac or the blush of a peach and all the beautiful warm browns and oranges in between. Wear topaz if you wish to be clear-sighted. Legend has it that it dispels all enchantment and helps to improve eyesight. The ancient Greeks believed that it had the power to increase strenght and make its wearer invisible in times of emergency. Topaz has been said to cure insomnia, asthma, and hemorrhages.
