Imperial Topaz
The Stone of Attraction
Let me but feel thy look’s embrace,
Transparent, pure, and warm,
And I’ll not ask to touch thy face,
Or fold thee with mine arm.
For in thine eyes a girl doth rise,
Arrayed in candid bliss,
And draws me to her with a charm
More close than any kiss.
A loving-cup of golden wine,
Songs of a silver brook,
And fragrant breaths of eglantine,
Are mingled in thy look.
More fair they are than any star,
Thy topaz eyes divine —
And deep within their trysting-nook
Thy spirit blends with mine.

Sacred Story
The magical and sacred “Tree of Life” in the Hindu tradition is known as the Kalpa tree. Composed of precious stones, the trunk is made from Imperial Topaz. Also called Kalpavriksha, this sacred tree emerged from the primal waters and is the origin of the milky way, the birthplace of the stars of Sirus. It is guarded by mythical creatures called Apsara which are spirits of clouds and water. The tree itself can grant wishes to those who ask. In fact, Shiva and Parvati gave their daughter Aranyani to the divine Kalpavriksha for safe keeping when war was upon them.
