There was an Egyptian princess who tried to murder the pharaoh at the time, but was exiled after her attempt was exposed. Going to a place called "Topas" in the Red Sea, the princess impressed the indigenous people on the island with her sincerity and kindness. The people on the island thought that she was a messenger sent by the sun god, so they gave her a piece of The sun-like gem became the later Topaz; third, Topaz means "searching" and is considered to be able to guide the wearer towards the goal; fourth, it comes from the Indian Sanskrit " Tapaz ", which means " "Fire" means the mysterious vitality burning in the human body.
Topaz is often associated with the sun god in ancient legends. In the Bible, Exodus, verse 28 , paragraphs 15-30 , it is called the " stone of fire " and was inlaid by God on Moses. The gem on Aaron's breastplate is also mentioned in Revelation, verse 21 , paragraph 19 , as one of the twelve cornerstones of the wall of Jerusalem, representing Matthew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus.
Topaz has a hardness of 8 and is easily broken.
