Blue Topaz comes from the ancient Sanskrit "tapas" meaning fire. This light blue translucent stone was named because of its power to cool down hot or boiling water. It was thought that when the stone was put in the boiling water one could stick their hand in and not get burned. These are from the old mythology from the books but in reality, it can be related to having the blue topaz stone around you for getting the great cooling in your chakras.
Topaz Stone can be found in many colors including yellow, pink, orange, blue, rose, and brown. Yellow and pink topaz are the more common and imported colors. Blue topaz sometimes gets mistaken for aquamarine. They are very similar in color and very hard to tell apart. Swiss blue topaz is scaled at an 8. Aquamarine is the softer stone at 7 on the Mohs scale. A diamond tester can be used to tell the hardness of the stone for the more concerned shopper. The two stones also have different refractions.

If comparing the two in pricing blue topaz should be less expensive than aquamarine but equally stunning to the naked eye.
