Another story concerning the etymology of the name topaz comes from the Sanskrit \"tupas\" meaning fire. It was Anselmus Boëtius de Boodt (1550 - 1632), a Flemish humanist, both physician and mineralogist, who named this hydrated aluminum fluosilicate mineral topaz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThus, many topazes mentioned in earlier texts may, in fact, be citrines, peridots, or yellow sapphires.

It varies according to the colors of the imperial topaz: it is very distinct in yellow topazes, weak for blue ones, and strong for pink ones. In summary, topaz has colors ranging from golden to violet, passing through green, blue, or pink.
