Similar emotions are evoked by the “mystic” topaz stone, which has multi-colored tints of color from pale yellow to emerald green and sky blue. One look at the mineral and the heart of the person who sees it falls in love with the gem forever.

History and origin

The history of the origin of the “mystic” topaz stone is quite well known. Its production and cutting was initially undertaken by the company Azotic Coating Technology Ink, which back in 1993 patented the technology for producing an attractive gem.

The secret is that a thin titanium film is sprayed onto already faceted colorless topaz, quartz or cubic zirconia. Subsequently, the gem is exposed to very low temperatures. Due to this, from two to five iridescent shades of the mineral are obtained.

At the same time, the overflows are clearly visible both in artificial lighting and in daylight.

Where is rainbow topaz used?

Topaz is popular among jewelers. It has also found application in industry. The high hardness of the mineral allows it to be used as a grinding material. True, the crystal is rarely used in this way because it is expensive.

The mystical variety of crystal is not suitable for industrial use, because then processing the surface of the stone in the laboratory will lose its meaning. Therefore, the mystic was and remains a favorite of jewelers. Craftsmen frame the gem in silver or gold, filling store shelves with jewelry, and also make custom sets for collectors.

Application

This variety of topaz, called “mystic,” looks good in jewelry, be it necklaces, earrings, rings or bracelets. Modern craftsmen, using professional cutting and subsequent polishing of the mineral, manage to create real jewelry masterpieces.

“Mystic” topaz has great jewelry value if it is found in gold or titanium. But here it is worth considering that if the jewelry is worn carelessly, the iridescent film on top of the mineral suffers. Then the topaz will already look faded, and the metal will remain expensive. This is why craftsmen prefer to work more with silver when using “mystic” topaz. In this case, the natural darkening of the metal and the play of mineral shades in silver will be as organic as possible. Moreover, if the master skillfully combined the segments of the decoration with the rainbow tints of the mineral, the product will be guaranteed unprecedented success.

By the way, world fame went to the world’s largest “mystic” topaz with the name “Braganza”.

This stone in the crown of the Portuguese ruler was shaped like an egg and shone so brightly in the sun that it was mistaken for a real huge diamond.

The weight of the gem reached 328 grams (1640 carats). It is noteworthy that this stone was found in Brazil and was mistaken for a diamond. That's why we used it as the main one. Today, a large collection of mystical minerals can be seen in Dresden, in the Green Cellars.

Mystical gem cost

Of all the mystical formations, topaz is considered the most valuable and highest in value. The price is approximately on the same level as classic types of stone. After cutting, polishing and applying the top layer, the work of the jewelers begins. They create jewelry and design objects. A jeweler does not include the colorless appearance of a stone in the group of precious stones.

How much can a piece of jewelry with an iridescent stone cost? Very cheap and expensive.

1. Small samples for inserts (2*1 cm) with diamond cutting - up to 1,000 rubles.
2. Earrings in silver – from 7,000 rub.
3. Ring in gold – from 9,000 rub.

It should be understood that the cost depends on many parameters.

What to pay attention to:

• jeweler's skill;
• originality of the product;
• color saturation.

How to spot a fake

In order to distinguish non-original (artificial topaz) from a real mineral when purchasing, you should take into account the following features:

1. Topaz electrifies very well. Therefore, you can rub it lightly and pay attention to the appearance of static electricity. But the seller does not always allow this, since frequent friction causes the iridescent film on the stone to deteriorate.
2. The mineral is only 2 units inferior in hardness to real diamond. And, it seems, it was possible to hit the gem, but the sellers will not allow this either.
3. Topaz has a decent weight. This is perhaps the only parameter by which the authenticity of a mineral can be determined. The weight of the gem is due to its high density, which is several times higher than that of other semi-precious and especially artificial stones. The density of “mystic” topaz is approximately 4 g/cm3. Therefore, the gem also has a less popular, but well-known name in Rus' - “heavyweight”. When purchasing jewelry with “mystic” topaz, pay attention to the weight of the product. To distinguish the original from a fake when purchasing, take approximately the same jewelry in your hand, but with cubic zirconia, zirconium or another mineral.
4. The brand of the jewelry house and the retail outlet itself are also a guarantee that the mineral is real. It is unlikely that street stalls will sell real gems, while well-known jewelry houses and jewelry stores will not spoil their reputation with petty fraud.

Description and characteristics

Mystic is one of the varieties of topaz. Semiprecious stone. Chemical composition is aluminum silicate.

Translated from Sanskrit, topas means heat, fire.

Large mineral deposits are located in:

• Brazil;
• USA;
• Germany;
• Sri Lanka.

In Russia, topaz is mined in the Urals and Transbaikalia.

To produce mystic topaz, colorless or lightly colored minerals are used that have no jewelry value. After cutting and polishing, a composition based on titanium or gold is applied to the surface of the stone by sputtering. To harden the coating, it is exposed to low temperatures.

Having gone through all stages of processing, the inconspicuous colorless stone blooms with rainbow colors in all its mystical splendor.

The entire spectrum of colors from green and blue to red and violet, combined with the glassy shine of the crystal faces, made mystic topaz one of the most popular and beloved gems.

How to wear and care

Caring for the “mystic” topaz stone and the principles of wearing it should be special.

To ensure the safety of the “Mystic” topaz stone, you must follow the basic rules:

1. Avoid overheating the mineral and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Firstly, the bright sun discolors the iris of the stone. Secondly, when heated, the gem emits a gas, the unpleasant odor of which is similar to the amber of rotten eggs. And although it is barely noticeable, it is still not worth the risk.
2. Do not expose the mineral to contact with cosmetics. Perfumes, creams, lotions contain components that can have a detrimental effect not only on topaz, but also on the metal framing it.
3. Avoid contact of the gem with water.
4. Only professionals should clean, polish and grind stone. It is better to take the jewelry to a workshop at a jewelry store for cleaning.

Although “mystic” topaz is included in the category of artificial stones, its basis is still natural colorless topaz.

Therefore, you need to be careful about the energy of the mineral and not carry it with malice in your soul. Otherwise, the mineral will show its unsightly side of impact on the emotional state of the owner of the jewelry.

Mystic Stone Care

If used improperly, stones can lose their beauty. This applies not only to natural minerals, but also to artificial ones. However, mystic topaz is not entirely a synthetic gem. In the laboratory they only give it a new color, but the stone itself is of natural origin.

A sure way to rid a talisman of harmful energies is to place it in kitchen salt for a day.

Rules for dealing with a mystic:

• The gem does not like the sun. Often exposed to direct sunlight, rainbow topaz will fade.
• The mystic does not tolerate temperature changes well, which are almost impossible to avoid in winter. With the onset of severe cold, you will have to forget about your favorite jewelry, adding it to the rest of your “summer” jewelry.
• The crystal needs gentle care. Harsh chemicals and brushing will damage the iridescent layer. Wash your jewelry with soap and a cloth, and leave the serious cleaning to a professional.

Even the most benevolent person is not protected from the loss of energy caused by the aggression of strangers and the envy of others. Like other stones, the mystic protects its owner by absorbing all negativity. Therefore, from time to time you need to cleanse its energy.

Favorable time to buy mystic topaz

Do not neglect the recommendations regarding the day of purchase of jewelry with gems. Each mineral is influenced by the phases of the moon and certain days of the week, on which it generates strong energy.

So, the ideal day to buy topaz is Sunday. In this case, it is important that the Moon is in the first phase, that is, during the period from the new moon (when the planet is not yet visible) until the formation of the thin month of the waxing Moon and then until half of its illumination.

During this period, the power of the stone is ready to absorb the energy of its owner. This means that you will become close to the gem.

It is worth remembering that semi-precious minerals come into contact with the owner. Therefore, it is important to listen to your feelings when buying. Perhaps a large topaz will reject you, while a more modest gem will respond with warmth in the palm of your hand, and vice versa. Of course, your mineral is the one with which you feel calm and harmonious.

Operating rules

To maintain its elegant appearance for as long as possible, the rainbow stone should be protected and properly cared for. Here are the basic rules that must be followed to maintain beauty:

• Keep topazes away from cosmetics;
• Remove products that contain this mineral during water procedures;
• Try to protect your jewelry from the sun's rays, this will have a negative impact;
• Topazes are afraid of sudden changes in temperature, so it would be better to remove the stone while you are in a bathhouse or sauna;
• If a mineral needs to be cleaned, then contact jewelry craftsmen, because without the appropriate knowledge you risk causing damage to the stone or coating;
• Periodically, products with Siberian diamonds should be washed with running water without additional chemicals, and then wiped with a dry towel;

Currently, international nomenclature is not required in the Russian Federation. Thus, the name of this gem can be absolutely any mineral, for example, artificial quartz.
