Topaz is beneficial for general health as well as for eyesight.  Topaz was used long ago as a stone of invisibility — it was believed that, if one held Topaz in their left hand, they would not be noticed by those they were trying to avoid. It has also been carried or worn as a good-luck stone.  Topaz enhances mental processes, bringing clarity and logic to any situation.  It helps to see all aspects of an issue or problem, making it easier to find a solution.  In this way, Topaz is also helpful to those searching for existential meaning, illuminating all the pieces of the puzzle and helping one to become receptive to their form.
