Tourmaline Pink:

The name tourmaline stamm t comes from the Sinhalese word “tura mali”. Translated, it means something like “stone with mixed colors”.

An old Egyptian legend says that a tourmaline travelled across a rainbow on its long journey from the earth's interior up to the sun.

Topaz Blue and Green:

Topaz takes its name from an island in the Red Sea, which in ancient times was called Topazos. In fact, another mineral, olivine, was mined there and was long confused with topaz. Another explanation of the name goes back to the Sanskrit word tapas, which means "fire" or "shine".

Topaz has been known for at least 2000 years and is one of the gemstones that form the foundations of the twelve gates to the city of God, the New Jerusalem. These stones were intended to serve as a symbol of beauty, splendor and defense against enemies.

The color of the topaz ranges from yellow, light blue, light green, yellow-brown, reddish brown, red, violet and colorless. Humphrey only uses blue and white topazes. Many topazes are changed in color through treatment. This is also the case with our blue topazes, as they would otherwise attract enormous prices.

With a grade of 8 on the 10-part Mohs scale, topaz is one of the hardest of all gemstones – only diamond, sapphire and ruby ​​are harder.

A colored gemstone brings joy on many days and for a lifetime!
