Scorpio's astrological gem is the TOPAZ.

Topaz is a transparent, translucent and mysterious stone, Like the sign it symbolizes, topaz represents the beauty of intensity, because it is created in conditions of great heat, heaviness and darkness.

Topaz is a stone that is sturdy but fragile at the same time. It makes beautiful jewelry, and is quite sturdy, but it can be cracked if roughly handled.

The word "topaz" comes from a Sanskrit word meaning "Heart of Fire", which is also a great description of the Scorpio personality! Topaz also means "to seek" - and Scorpios are great seekers of experience and deep meanings.

When worn by a Scorpio, the topaz is supposed to promotes general health. With its soothing and detoxifying qualities, it also helps the wearer to diffuse anger and overcome stress.
