What’s their meaning? Part II
- Tourmaline owes its name to the Sinhalese term “turamali”, which means “stone of multiple colours”.
- The origin of the name "Topaz" is
supposed to be the Sanskrit word for fire - tapas - possibly because of its
fiery orange yellow color. Still, there is another theory that says that topaz
got its name from the Red Sea's Island of Topazos, where the Romans found a
stone, which they called 'Topaz', but which later was found to be Peridot.
- There is no doubt Citrine derives its name from “citron” (lemon). :)

- The name "garnet" comes from the Roman word granatus meaning "seed", as the gems were thought to resemble pomegranate seeds. The name of Rhodolite is derived from the Greek for "rose-like".
- Peridot comes from the Greek term “chrysolite” or “stone of fire”.
