The First Gem is a topaz with magical properties[1] that Hoid once carried and from which he took his name for a while.[2][3]
The name First Gem was referenced by Patji[4] in the Second Oathbringer Letter, when he addressed Hoid as "Cephandrius, bearer of the First Gem."[5]. The fact that Hoid was a Dawnshard at some point [6] is related to his title as Bearer of the First Gem [7].
Theories
A character named "Topaz" appears in the unpublished work Dragonsteel Prime.[8] Although Dragonsteel Prime is not canonical, Brandon has confirmed that some individuals in the cosmere still know Hoid by that name.[9]
Hoid told Kaladin that he was once named for a beautiful rock that became "completely worthless" for his wearing it.[10] 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 letter to Hoid.[11]
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[12] all hint that the First Gem has importance beyond Roshar.
