黃寶石
The name "topaz" is derived from the Greek 
topazos, "to seek," which was the name of an island in the Red Sea that was difficult to find and from which a yellow stone (now believed to be a yellowish olivine ) was mined in ancient times. In the Middle Ages the name topaz was used to refer to any yellow gemstone.
Pure topaz is transparent but is usually tinted by impurities; typical topaz is wine or straw-yellow . They may also be white , gray , green , blue , or reddish -yellow and transparent or translucent. When heated, yellow topaz often becomes reddish-pink . It can also be irradiated, turning the stone a light and distinctive shade of blue.
