| Genuine Topaz Gemstone Gallery |
The name "topaz" is derived from the Greek topazos, "to seek," which was the name of an island in the Red Sea that was
difficult to find and from which a yellow stone (now believed to be a yellowish olivine) was mined in ancient times. In the
Middle Ages the name topaz was used to refer to any yellow gemstone, but now the name is only properly applied to
the silicate described above.
According to Rebbenu Bachya, the word "Leshem" in the verse Exodus 28:19 means "Topaz" and was the stone on the
Ephod representing the tribe of Dan. Topaz is also the birthstone of November.
