40.29cwt. Yellow Topaz .Untreated. Independent Master Valuer Appraised for $555. BARGAIN! SEE NOTE!

Earth mined topaz, 40.29 cwt. Natural Earth Mined . Why Settle for Imitations? 28.5x14.5x10.3 mm . As noted in master valuers appraisal, there is a chip in the pavilion. If there was not, it would be appraised at MANY times more! Should not affect appearance once set . Very light yellow as expected in an untreated stone. Please read the TERMS AND CONDITIONS page at least once as it applies to all listings. Any questions, please ask.

NOTE: I believe the price here is excellent even though it is not as deeply discounted as many of my stones. Mr Knight discounted HEAVILY because of chip. I would not agree. My prices are based on what I had to pay, and i believe the price asked is a very good deal. Video available on request.

THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED topaz. Appraisal by a master valuer ( at time of this listing I am using Steven Knight GG, R.M.V., CJA-CAP) for a retail replacement value of $ 555 Canadian Feel free to download a copy of the appraisal unsigned and unsealed. As I have already partially paid to have his appraisal, I can arrange a signed ,sealed copy of his appraisal to be sent to you for an additional $30, made out in your name, and converted to your currency if you are not in Canada. It will be sent separately to you by Mr Knight from his lab. Takes a few extra days. Master valuers are considered THE experts on coloured gems, and their appraisals are accepted by insurance companies as genuine retail replacement value.

Topaz is the gem stone for those born in November. It has been used as a gemstone for thousands of years. It is considered the symbol of friendship. Topaz in its natural state is a golden brown to yellow. Naturally occurring blue topaz is quite rare. , and almost all blue topaz on the market has been treated to produce that colour, as is some brown. An old English superstition says that topaz cures lunacy. (Never worked for me! :-) Topaz is the hardest of any silicate mineral, at 8 on the moh's scale.
