About the Item

Loose Topaz Weight: 5.35 Carats Dimension: 11.5x9x7.2 Mm Origin: Skardu Pakistan Shape: Oval Cut: Brilliant Treatment: Non Certificate: On Demand Natural topaz is a mesmerizing gemstone renowned for its brilliance and a spectrum of vibrant hues. Belonging to the silicate mineral family, topaz derives its colors from impurities or structural defects within its crystal lattice. Its name is thought to have originated from the Sanskrit word "tapas," meaning fire, reflecting its warm tones and fiery allure. Topaz occurs in various colors, with the most common being yellow to brownish hues. However, it can also display shades of blue, green, pink, red, and rare colorless varieties. Natural blue topaz is relatively uncommon, often formed from irradiation or trace elements, while imperial topaz showcases a captivating reddish-orange to pink hue, highly valued among collectors. The gem's clarity and transparency contribute significantly to its value. Some topazes exhibit pleochroism, displaying different colors when viewed from various angles, adding to their enchanting appeal. The most prized varieties possess excellent clarity and intense, vivid colors, making them highly sought after in the gem market. Brazil, Russia, Sri Lanka, and Nigeria are primary sources of natural topaz, each producing stones with distinct characteristics. Mines in these regions yield top-quality gems, with Brazil notably producing a wide range of colors, including the coveted imperial topaz. Topaz's popularity in jewelry design is due to its hardness, scoring 8 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for everyday wear. Jewelers craft topaz into various shapes and sizes, from faceted cuts to cabochons, enhancing its brilliance and showcasing its unique colors. Ancient civilizations attributed mystical properties to topaz, believing it to bring strength, healing, and protection. Today, it remains a symbol of love and affection, often gifted for celebrations and milestones. While natural topaz's beauty captivates many, it's essential to verify its authenticity, as treatments like irradiation or heat may enhance its color. Understanding the characteristics and origins of natural topaz ensures the appreciation of its inherent beauty and value in the world of gemstones.
