Geology & Origin
Topaz is a fluorine bearing aluminium silicate belonging to the nesosilicate group and with a Mohs hardness of about 8 it is considered one of the classic gemstones. It forms mainly in pegmatitic and hydrothermal deposits where it often develops clear well formed crystals. Brazil is one of the world’s most important sources for high quality Topaz and produces material with especially good transparency and attractive coloration. These faceted specimens display the typical characteristics of Sky Blue Topaz in polished form.
Application Note
The stones are well suited for jewelry creations such as earrings pendants or rings as well as for decorative craft projects and collections. Despite their good hardness Topaz should be protected from strong impacts because of its cleavage and stored carefully.
