El-Dorado isn't a KIND of Topaz but rather A Topaz. It is an Imperial Topaz discovered in Minas Gerais in Brazil, seems to get its name from the legend of El-Dorado, the city of the legendary golden king of South America, who at the time of his inauguration to the high office, was completely covered with gold dust over a layer of sticky mud previously applied on his naked body and then conveyed on a decorated raft with great pomp and pageantry to the middle of the deep and sacred lagoon of Guatavita, where he offered a great heap of gold and emeralds to the demon whom the Muisca people worshipped as their God and Lord, by throwing them overboard into the deep lake, and perhaps also diving into the sacred lake in order cleanse himself of the mixture of mud and gold.
