White Topaz
Product Description
The name "topaz" likely originated from Topazos, an ancient Red Sea island. Topaz can be yellow, orange, light to dark blue, pink-red, red, violet, light green, and colorless. Some are enhanced with colorful treatments to create special effects. On Mohs' hardness scale, topaz is a tough 8. Sources include Brazil (Minas Gerais), Afghanistan, Australia, Myanmar (Burma), China, Japan, Madagascar, Mexico, Namibia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia (Urals, Transbaikalia), Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, and the U.S.
GEMNOTE:White Topaz has a low index of refraction so light passes through it making it appear clear and liquid much like water. Unlike Diamond and Cubic Zirconia which have a very high index of refraction and thus reflect most light back with a brilliant sparkle. You can see "through" White Topaz, you cannot see through a Diamond or CZ.
