Tips for wearing fragrance

When you use perfumes apply them to pulse points such as the folds in the crook of your elbow and back of knees, wrist, neck and cleavage. Make sure you do not stroke wrists together as this crushes the smell. Spraying a little into the air is also fine if you walk straight into the perfume. This helps to spread it over your body. Do not apply to the neck always work up the body as the scent rises.

Topaz Stone

Topaz is a colorless, blue, yellow, brown, or pink aluminum silicate mineral, often found in association with granitic rocks and valued as a gemstone, particularly in the brown and pink varieties. Under suitable conditions, topaz grows into huge crystals. It derives its name from the Sanskrit word topaz, meaning fire. According to one more theory topaz derives its name from the Island of Topazos, in the Red Sea, where the Romans obtained a stone which they called by this name, but which was the recent chrysolite or peridot.

A transparent stone with a vitreous luster, topaz's pure crystals are looks beautiful in fashionable jewelry items like: rings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants. Blue Topaz is existing in a variety of shades, sizes and shapes. Red and intense pink are the most rare and most attractive colors for topaz. Topaz is a very hard gemstone however it can be split with a single blow, a trait it shares with diamond.
