The '''First Gem''' is a topaz with magical properties{{wob ref|5301}} that [[Hoid]] once carried and from which he took his name for a while.{{wob ref|6065}}{{wob ref|8609}} The name "First Gem" was revealed in the [[Letters#Second_Oathbringer_Letter|Second Oathbringer Letter]] when [[Patji (being)|Patji]]{{wob ref|12761}} addressed Hoid as "Cephandrius, bearer of the First Gem." Some individuals in the [[cosmere]] still know Hoid as "Topaz".{{wob ref|5882}} Hoid tells [[Kaladin]] that he was once named for a beautiful rock that became worthless for his wearing it,{{book ref|sa1|57}} presumably referring to the First Gem.

{{unpublished|book=Dragonsteel}}
Hoid's belief that the gem is now "worthless"{{book ref|sa1|57}} likely indicates that it no longer holds its original magical properties. [[Frost]] also mentions a gemstone being "dead" in his [[Letters#The Second Letter|letter to Hoid]].{{epigraph ref|sa2|60}}
A character named "Topaz" appears in the unpublished work [[Dragonsteel Prime|''Dragonsteel'' Prime]].{{bws ref|dragonsteel-prime-chapter-31-bridge-four-4|Dragonsteel Prime Chapter 31: Bridge Four 4|date=c. 2000}} Although ''Dragonsteel'' Prime is not canonical, Brandon has confirmed that some individuals in the [[cosmere]] still know Hoid by that name.{{wob ref|5882}}
 
Hoid's belieftold [[Kaladin]] that thehe gemwas isonce nownamed for a beautiful rock that became "completely worthless" for his wearing it.{{book ref|sa1|57}} If this is a reference to the First Gem, it likely indicates that it no longer holds its original magical properties. [[Frost]] also mentions a gemstone being "dead" in his [[Letters#The Second Letter|letter to Hoid]].{{epigraph ref|sa2|60}}
 
Although topaz is a [[polestone]] on [[Roshar]], Frost and Patji's knowledge of the gem, its name, and Hoid's status as one of the oldest beings in the cosmere{{wob ref|3083}} all hint that the First Gem has importance beyond Roshar. It has been theorised that the First Gem was used in some form in the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|10439}}
