About Topaz
Topaz of any type is an important jewelry stone due to its
hardness (8 on the Mohs scale) and high
refractive index.
Topaz comes in many colors, including clear, brown, yellow, orange, red, pink and blue. The
blue topaz, with a pale to medium blue color created by irradiation can be found in very large sizes at affordable prices. The fine golden-yellow variety, known as
Imperial Topaz, is relatively scarce.
