Blue Topaz comes from the ancient Sanskrit "tapas" meaning fire. This light blue translucent stone was named because of its power to cool down hot or boiling water. It was thought that when the stone was put in the boiling water one could stick their hand in and not get burned. These are from the old mythology from the books but in reality, it can be related to having the blue topaz stone around you for getting the great cooling in your chakras.

Topaz Stone can be found in many colors including yellow, pink, orange, blue, rose, and brown. Yellow and pink topaz are the more common and imported colors.
