Topaz is a beautiful, versatile gemstone that comes in several colours — each linked to a different planet and purpose. Described as a “mellow, empathetic stone,” topaz is loved for directing energy where it’s needed, soothing the body’s meridians, and balancing the emotions. This guide explains the types and colours of topaz, their ruling planets and benefits, who should wear them, and how to wear topaz correctly.
