Yellow topaz wholesales to the trade today for approx. $10 for a 1 cwt stone of very low grade quality to approx. $400 for a one carat example of extra fine quality. The price goes up to $750 per cwt. for extra fine larger examples. The retail price can be several times that, depending on the retailers markup8
The retail replacement figure is designed for bricks and mortar jewelers with high overheads. I bought directly from the source.... no middlemen, and I have no overheads..... so BIG difference in price.
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.
