Blue Topaz, Approx. 20.2cwt. Natural Earth Mined. 19.3x12.3x7.8mm. Untreated.

THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED TOPAZ. Expect flaws and inclusions. I do not sell lab produced or glass filled stones which are not considered real gems. Flawless genuine gems are rare and expensive. Flawless fakes and man made gems are plentiful and cheap.. Why Settle for Imitations?

This gem is approx. 20.2cwt. Light Yellow. 99% of all topaz on the market has been treated . This is totally accepted by the trade. But, this is a lighter blue, and to the best of my knowledge is untreated. Rare these days! I have a Brazilian contact I have dealt with for decades that supplies me. Please read the IMPORTANT TERMS AND INFORMATION page at least once as it applies to all listings. Video available on request . ANY questions, please ask.

Topaz is the gem stone for 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.
