✦Releases Burdensome Emotions
Sometimes, there are emotions troubling us which continue to become a heavier and heavier mental burden as time passes. These emotions may be depression, feelings regarding one’s love life, feelings about weight, etc. The mystic fire topaz is believed to help release such feelings.
✦Improves Metabolism
Wearing the mystic fire topaz is said to improve the metabolism of the body, thus helping the digestive process become smoother. It is also believed to improve the sense of taste, as well as help with weight loss.
✦Protects from Poison
Yes, poison! While the validity of this point is almost non-existent, folklore tells us tales of kings who dipped their topaz jewelry into their wines or anything else that they had to consume, to see if it was poisoned or not. Of course, the stone never replaced official tasters!
✦Other Physical Healing Properties
Other than improving metabolism of the body, the mystic fire topaz is said to help lessen the effects of aging on the skin. It is also believed that this stone improves blood circulation, and strengthens the thyroid glands of the body. It is supposed to be very helpful in treating different sorts of pain.
✦Attaining Salvation
Again, we don’t know the validity of this healing property of the mystic fire topaz. Some experts believe that this stone helps move on to the next realm after death. This would mean that if a person wears or uses a mystic fire topaz, he/she would be able to make the transition to the next realm after dying much quicker.
Mystic Fire Topaz Care
Since this stone is prone to breakage, great care must be taken to not subject it to a lot of force. If you want to clean your mystic fire topaz, use a soft cloth and some soapy water. However, it must be ensured that no soapy residue is left on the stone to avoid any kind of damage. If you wear a mystic fire topaz in a ring or pendant, it is advisable to remove it when indulging in any strenuous physical activity. When storing it away, wrapping it in a soft cloth is recommended.
The dazzling mystic fire topaz is said to be attuned to the throat chakra, and many believe it to be an ideal gemstone for those born in the month of November.
