Topaz: I am Here to Make You Smile

Hello and welcome back to The Schapera Show where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called Life. This is the part of the show where I, Vivien, talk to and about crystals. Our crystal guest today is Topaz.

Topaz was one of the very first stones I learned about as a young girl, because it is often used as a gem stone in rings. Every time I saw a stone that I admired, I would ask my mother “what’s that?” and it seemed like she would always answer: “Topaz.” That’s probably why I have 2 giant pieces of gem cut Topaz, one in blue and one in a very light peach color. That’s part of the beauty of Topaz – it comes in an assortment of colors.

•     Blue Topaz: This is a popular and common type, with shades ranging from light to dark blue. 
•     Pink Topaz: A relatively rare color, ranging from light to medium pink. 
•     Imperial Topaz: The rarest and most valuable variety, known for its warm hues of peach, pink, and orange. 
•     Yellow Topaz: A common color, including golden and sherry topaz. 
•     Mystic Topaz: A natural colorless topaz that has been coated with a thin layer, creating a rainbow-like effect. 
•     Azotic Topaz: An orange-pink topaz with a rainbow-like color effect, achieved through a thin metallic layer coating. 
•     Colorless Topaz: Also known as white topaz, this is a colorless form that can be used as a substitute for diamonds in some jewelry. 

It is very important to be aware that Topaz is treated in various ways, like irradiation and coating, to achieve these colors. Nonetheless, if a stone is appealing to you, and has a healthy vibration, these treatments can be considered “an enhancement” rather than “a fake.” I will admit that I used to look down on dyed and treated stones, but after a conversation with Howlite, which is a stone that gets dyed to disguise it as another more valuable stone, I changed my mind. This was similar to when I spoke to Aqua Aura. Here’s the thing – of course a stone that has achieved optimal coloration by natural means is both rare and valuable, stones that have been assisted by a man induced imitation carry a very special charge – a synergy between humanity and the mineral kingdom. Of course, sometimes a treatment can go too far, and can “burn” the minerals, and that is definitely not good.
