Golden Topaz – (Solar Plexus Chakra) – (Zodiac of Sagittarius, Leo & Pisces)
Golden Topaz is one of the birthstones for the month of November (Citrine is the other). I have always associated it with my Grandmothers, who were born in November and very fond of Topaz. It emanates a very cozy, familiar energy for me, so I often use it for ancestral honoring rituals. Find out the Topaz spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!
The Science of Topaz
Topaz is one of the harder gemstones at Mohs hardness 8, so it wears really well in rings because it is durable. It comes in many color (and even clear), but yellow-gold is the most common. Take care when buying blue or pink topaz, because blue is almost always heat-treated and pink is very rare, so is often color treated.
Historical Significance of Topaz
Today Topaz is primarily mined in Brazil (and found in my home state of Texas), but in the 1800s it was mined heavily in Germany. The name is derived from the Indian word tapas meaning ‘fire’, and from the Arabic word topazos – ‘found’. It has been used throughout history, and all over the world. The royal crown of England is covered in topazes, and many cultures considered it a stone of great wisdom.

Topaz Mantra Practice
Sit in a seated meditation position, holding the Topaz in your less dominant hand to receive its energy. Really feel the support of the cushion or floor beneath you. You are grounded and supported by the Earth’s energies. Imagine a bright yellow flower blooming in the middle of your torso. It radiates warm golden energy all around you.
