Please read the TERMS AND CONDITIONS page at least once as it applies to all listings. Any questions, please ask.Appraised by one of Canada's top appraisers. . Master Valuer appraisals are accepted by Insurance companies as true retail replacement value. Retail replacement is for bricks and mortar stores with high overheads. I bought directly from source in large quantities, which makes a huge difference, and my price is based on what I had to pay, and is always MUCH lower than retail replacement. Now retired, I am doing this to raise funds for charities I believe in.

Better gems and jewelry items are kept in secure location in a city about 1 hour from my home, for security purposes Retrieving an item can cause a slight shipping delay.

NOTE: Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment.
Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.
Some people will never understand why people buy an original work of art when they can buy a poster for next to nothing.
Earth mined gems are for those that do. Invest in quality.

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.
