Information On The Mineral Imperial Topaz

Topaz is a mineral, a silicate of aluminum and fluorine. It has to be handled with care to avoid developing flaws. Pure topaz is transparent but it is usually tinted by impurities. When a transparent gemstone is heated it becomes blue. Often topaz is wine or straw-yellow in color.

Imperial Topaz is yellow, pink-orange and sometimes pink, though this is rare. Brazil Imperial Topaz often has a bright yellow to deep golden brown hue. Sometimes the gem will show violet. Some Imperial Topaz will fade when exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time. When purchasing check if this is a possibility with the stone you are interested in.

Topaz is found with the more acid rocks of the granite and rhyolite type and may be found with fluorite and cassiterite. It can be found in the Ural and Ilmen mountains, Brazil, Czech Republic, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Saxony, Sweden, and the United States.

Topaz is also the birthstone for November and the Celtic birth sign 'Beach'.
