Blue topaz, and by extent all topaz, has been a well-loved stone for millennia. The Romans believed that topaz would protect those who travel from danger, and in the Middle Ages in Europe it was worn on the left arm to ward off the Evil Eye. In the modern era blue topaz is a great stone for speaking your inner truth and is associated with the throat and third eye chakra. Geologically, topaz is a defining mineral of the Moh’s Scale of Hardness sitting at a solid 8, which makes it an excellent stone for jewelry due to its resistance to scratching.
