MYSTIC GEMSTONES VARIOUS CUTS

Description

Topaz is a silicate mineral of aluminium and fluorine with the chemical formula Al₂SiO₃. It is used as a gemstone in jewelry and other adornments. Common topaz in its natural state is colorless, though trace element impurities can make it pale blue or golden brown to yellow orange. Topaz actually has an exceptionally wide color range that, besides brown, includes various tones and saturations of blue, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple.  It is often treated with heat or radiation to make it a deep blue, reddish-orange, pale green, pink, or purple.

Topaz is also pleochroic, meaning that the gem can show different colors in different crystal directions.
