Topaz Gemstones - Dashrath International Gemstone Learning Library

Today we are taking about Topaz gemstone. Topaz gemstone family is very famous. We all know Topaz as a Blue color gemstone. If we are not wrong, we can say that ‘Highest saleable blue color gemstone is Blue Topaz.’

There are a few members in Topaz family like Blue Topaz, White Topaz and Pink Topaz. The hardness of Topaz is around 8, so it is very easy to cut & set topaz in any size or shape. Colorless white topaz is the basic topaz which gets treated to get turned into blue topaz.

After treating topaz for the color variations, a cooling period of around 6 months is quite necessary because of the radiations from the stones. If we don’t give this cooling period to this gemstone it can harm us by its radiations.

One more thing which is to notify that, white topaz can easily get mixed with other white gemstones like white quartz, so it is very necessary to check the gemstones very carefully. In a special solution, when you dip the white topaz it will go down while the white quartz will go up in the solution. This is how you can differentiate the white topaz and white quartz. You can also check the white topaz by implementing the hardness test on the gemstones.
