History: This is the rarest topaz colour, ranging from a rich orange to a peachy-pink colour. This colour was first discovered in Russia in the 19th century. They were immediately popular with the Imperial family, and it was forbidden for non-royals to wear them.
Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.
