Despite such calming influences, however, it was a powerful aphrodisiac and was often used to treat sexual dysfunction.
Powdered and mixed with rosewater, topaz prevented bleeding; nosebleeds could be stopped by pressing a stone against the side of the nose. It was believed that madness could be cured by a dose of topaz and wine. As a guard against sorcery, topaz was worn, set in gold, on the left arm.
