It was from that moment that the first mention of the "golden stone" began.  Some ancient historians claimed that the source from which olivine was extracted was the island of Topazios. According to various legends, the Egyptian pharaohs ordered the inhabitants of the island to extract and give them many stones, which were then carved and given to the royal advisors with the aim of freeing them from jealousy and temptations. In the Old Testament it is often called "topaz". In the Middle Ages it was used as a protective stone and lucky charm against evil spirits, to develop wisdom and promote the spirit of friendship.
