Scott's Tips
To clean topaz, use warm water, a soft damp cloth and a soft brush. Although topaz is hard, it cleaves and a sudden impact can cause a break.
Topaz
The name topaz is believed to have derived from the ancient Sanskrit word tapas, meaning fire.
A November birthstone, topaz is recognized as the 23rd wedding anniversary.
Topaz comes in a variety of colors with the most rare being natural pink, red and fine golden orange. Intense fiery golden imperial topaz, particularly in medium to large sizes, is considered among the most valuable.
The ready availability of blue topaz makes it the most affordable.
