MATERIAL: Natural TOPAZ. One of the Most popular and
sough after gemstones . Named after its locality of Topasos Island in the Red Sea.
Topaz usually occurs in Pegmatites and
high temperature quartz veins. Cavities in granites and rhyolites. Deposited by
fluorine-rich vapors in rocks of rhyolite composition. Russian natural
untreated Blue Topaz represents one of the highest investment gem on the market
today. Only during
past 2 years price of natural blue and colorless topaz nearly tripled
and this trend will continue in years to come.
SPIRITUAL PROPERTIES, LEGEND and LORE: Known
as a 'stone of true love and success in all endeavors', it can promote
individuality and creativity, while providing confidence in trusting ones
decisions. It acts to replace negativity with love and joyfulness. The energy
of Topaz acts through the laws of attraction and manifestation. The gentle
shades of Topaz serve as a catalytic trigger for the manifestation activities,
while the vibratory resonance acts with an ethereal magnetic effect. This
mineral is the 'crystal of potency', quite instrumental in visualization for
healing and/or attracting, in meditation, and in projection. It helps one to
absorb that which is needed from the universe, prompting receptivity and
willingness to act. Enhances awareness and induces the states of expansiveness
and manifestation.
ORIGIN: Klein Spitzkoppe, NAMIBIA. This region
produces some of the very finest natural topaz, both in alluvial river worn
shapes and beautiful, single or double terminated crystals. I was able to buy
some of the finest rough available from Namibia. This gemstone was mined during
winter 2013. I purchased 3 kilo lot from local diggers and most of these will
be faceted into a truly magnificent gems. So please stay in touch!
