Topaz

Overview

Topaz is an aluminium silicate fluoride hydroxide mineral that belongs to the silicate class of minerals. Its crystal structure is orthorhombic, and it frequently forms prismatic crystals, often eight sided with striations along the length. The crystals are transparent to translucent with a adamantine to vitreous lustre.

The colours of topaz are created through the deposit in the growing process of other trace minerals. Yellow and Pink topaz are coloured with chromium, Blue topaz is coloured with iron, Brown topaz is coloured with manganese and the Orange and Red topaz are coloured with phosphorus.
Topaz is found in Brazil, Pakistan, USA, Russia and Mexico.

The name Topaz may derive from Topazos, a word meaning 'to seek', the other possible derivation of the name is the Sanskrit word tapaz, which means 'fire'. In current metaphysical thought, Topaz is viewed as emanating a variety of beneficial energies, varying according to the type and colour. I will be discussing the most important and readily available varieties of topaz; blue, gold and white.

Mystic Topaz
This topaz is clear topaz that has been artificially coated with titanium or another metal to give a multicoloured sheen. Mystic Topaz has had a very thin layer of titanium metal coated to the pavilion of the cut stone. The very thin layer of metal causes interference patterns with light entering the stone, forming a rainbow of iridescent colours, similar to the colour range you see with oil on water. While the stone is very pretty, it has no extra healing qualities.
