Mystic Topaz is white topaz that’s treated with a permanent bond to
have a wide variety of colors, the blue-greens being the best known. As
with Aqua Aura Quartz, some people believe that Mystic Topaz has no
metaphysical properties because of its treatment. I don’t find that to
be the case, though. My experience is that everything that exists has
its own energy — it almost has to, as science is now showing us what
mystics have known for aeons that everything is made of energy — and
however something comes to be how it is today can change its energy,
but it definitely has energy. Mystic Topaz has a combination of the
properties of topaz and the color energies brought to the stone through
its permanently bonded color.

impression. Black tourmaline has also been used to deflect radiation
