St. John's Island) off the coast of Egypt. The name “topaz” may honor that early source. Another theory of the etymology of topaz is from the Sanskrit tapas, meaning “fire,” after some stones’ orange color. Regardless, the term “topaz” was used for centuries... but not for topaz specifically. In the 1600s to 1700s, historians and mineralogists realized that the “topaz” from Topazios Island was actually olivine, and folks had been using “topaz” for various stones including quartz and beryl. British author Thomas Nicols notably discussed the historical inaccuracies in his famous 1652 treatise A Lapidary or History of Gemstones. Another early name used was chrȳsolithus or chrysolithos, derived from the ancient Greek terms khrusós for “gold” and lithos for “stone.” This ultimately became “chrysolite,” a term often used for peridot and other yellow-green stones. Imperial Topaz Discoveries“Imperial topaz” was discovered around the early 1700s, but sources differ on whether the trade name honors Russian or Portuguese royalty. In the 1700s, prospectors in Brazil discovered large deposits of gem-quality topaz within Ouro Prêto in Minas Gerais. Brazil was a Portuguese colony, so some sources say the term “imperial topaz” honored Portugal royals. Canadian author and mineral collector Dr. Michael A. Menzies wrote in his 2023 article “Topaz from Granite Pegmatites” that topaz (likely blue topaz) was discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the late 1600s to early 1700s, while yellow topaz was discovered in Saxony, Germany, in the 1720s. Menzies highlights that imperial topaz was first described from Brazil in 1760, then discovered in the Ural Mountains in 1853.That said, Brazilian “imperial” topaz quickly spread to the west and graced the crowns and jewelry of various European royals — possibly Russian royals, too. However, some sources say that pink topaz stones from Russia could only be owned by Russian royals. Regardless, imperial topaz has remained a top-tier topaz variety... though it’s no longer exclusive to royalty. Speaking of popular, accessible topaz varieties... Blue Topaz Becomes A StarNowadays, blue topaz is easily the most famous variety among everyday buyers. But before the mid-20th century, that wasn’t the case. That changed in the 1960s. At the time, colorless topaz was abundant and cheap while blue topaz was pricey and hard to come by. Brazilian pale blue topaz was around $300 per carat. American mineralogist Frederick H Pough first reported on using irradiation treatment to turn blue topaz colorless in 1957. It

They also became the second team, after the Boston Red Sox, to win three championships in the 21st century.“I’m numb through all this,” said Manager Bruce Bochy, who was at the helm of all three Giants title runs. “You’re so blessed or fortunate to get in the World Series and get to one; it just doesn’t happen very often. I’m amazed at what these guys did.”Those guys, playing for a franchise that once featured the likes of Christy Mathewson, Mel Ott, Willie Mays and Barry Bonds, included Buster Posey, Pablo Sandoval and, most of all, Madison Bumgarner, a 25-year-old left-hander who wrote his name into World Series lore with a performance for the ages.ImageThe Royals’ Lorenzo Cain after popping out in the eighth inning against Madison Bumgarner.Credit...John Rieger/USA TODAY Sports, via ReutersThank you for your patience while we verify access.
