It is not known for certain how our distant ancestors mined golden topaz, but they were definitely familiar with this stone. In ancient China, only royalty could wear it. Especially for them, overcoats, scarves, hats and even household items that were kept in their palaces were embroidered with topaz. Indian monarchs preferred to encrust their crowns with golden topaz, since at that time the stone was a real rarity. As for the more modern history of this mineral, it was again discovered in the Ural Mountains. The stone immediately received a popular name - “heavyweight”, since its density was and remains very impressive - 8 units on the Mohs scale. Since then, it has become the pride of the royal dynasty of the Russian Empire and was inherited by us.

The main area of ​​application of topaz, which goes well with most precious and semi-precious stones, is jewelry.

The reason for such easy compatibility of topazes with other gems in products is not only the variety of their colors, but also the delightful appearance of the crystals, amenable to any type of cutting.

Topaz is cut taking into account their color:

• brown and pink crystals are processed in the form of stepped ovals;
• stones interspersed with fluorite or albite are given a cabochon shape;
• Yellow or blue specimens are diamond cut.

Jewelry with topaz is bracelets, signets, earrings, pendants made from heavy and large stones.

Topazes look equally organic in both gold and silver frames.

Where to look?

Looking at the photo of golden topaz, you definitely want to have this gift. But first, let’s find out where miners find it, because the cost will directly depend on this:

• Sri Lanka is an island with more yellowish crystals than anywhere else.
• Germany - the town of Schneckestein is famous for such minerals.
• Ukraine - The Volyn region became famous in 1965 due to the fact that a huge yellow-orange nugget was found here.
• Russia, namely the region of the Ural Mountains, as well as Transbaikalia. But it is worth noting that in our country not only golden topazes are mined, but also topazes of other colors.

These stones are also sometimes found on the island of Madagascar and Brazil. We also emphasize that these stones are of volcanic origin. This, in particular, makes it possible to reconstruct the tectonic map of the past.

Other uses of stone

• According to archaeological excavations, in prehistoric times figurines, pestles and all kinds of stands were made from topaz. This stone is used in a similar way today.
• Large colorless crystals with a beautiful shape often become exhibits in private mineralogical collections.
• In industrial production, high-hardness topazes are used to polish the surface of various materials that are difficult to process.
• In metallurgy, a mineral containing large amounts of fluorine is sometimes used as a flux (a substance added to ore during metal smelting to lower the melting point and more easily separate the metal from the barren rock).

How to choose and wear

Gold ring with topaz
You need to choose a natural stone. When choosing, you should rely on the advice of astrologers. You should buy jewelry with topaz at a jewelry store.

In everyday life, it is acceptable to wear small accessories made of silver. Topaz in silver goes perfectly with business style.

You need to select stones of soft colors. A good choice is to match the mineral to the overall tone of the wardrobe.

Gold with topaz is an accessory for an evening dress. Large bright decorations are appropriate here. Experts advise against wearing topaz in combination with other stones. Women need to choose the color of the mineral in accordance with their color type:

• for blondes with blue and gray eyes, stones in light shades are suitable: blue, transparent, dark blue, pink;
• a brown-haired man with brown and green eyes will be decorated with yellow and wine gems;
• The bright, saturated colors of the mineral are closer to dark brunettes.

Compatibility with other stones

Topaz, which is a stone of Air, harmoniously combines with labradorite, rock crystal, moonstone and emerald.

Its combination with aventurine and amethyst is quite acceptable.

When topaz is combined with Water stones (aquamarine, opal, pearls, coral, etc.), unfavorable vibrations may occur in jewelry.

The combination of topaz with chrysoprase, rubies and diamonds is considered unfavorable.

How to distinguish from a fake

Minerals are regularly counterfeited, especially rare specimens of expensive varieties: with the help of small manipulations a cheap crystal can be “ennobled” and then sold at the price of an expensive one.

As a rule, manufacturers honestly write “refined” or “artificial topaz” on the product wrapper, but resellers, purchasing the product in a laboratory, then change the packaging to their own and sell it in it.

How to distinguish natural stone from synthetic:

• First, try rubbing the gem with a piece of wool or paper. Natural topaz is electrified, and after such a “test” it will be able to attract a hair.
• Swipe the mineral across the glass. The natural mineral is hard and will scratch easily.
• Squeeze the gem in your palm. A fake will quickly heat up from the heat of the human body, a natural mineral will not.
• Look at what topaz looks like with a magnifying glass. Natural gems are perfectly smooth only if they are cut into a cabochon shape, but even then they may contain small cracks, air bubbles, and abrasions.

However, the above methods can only identify completely unsophisticated fakes made of plastic or glass. A synthetic gem made in a laboratory, the so-called “nano-topaz”, will be completely identical to the natural one in its properties and appearance. At the same time, a crystal formed in “greenhouse” conditions does not absorb the power of the earth, so it is useless as a talisman or amulet.

Those for whom the magical properties of a crystal are a priority should not buy it anywhere other than large certified shops. They purchase minerals directly from suppliers in “factory” packaging, with documentation. By carefully studying the product passport, you will see whether your purchase is a natural gem or an imitation.

How to care for stone

5. Restoring the color of a faded crystal is quite simple - you need to put it in a closed box, wrapping it in thick cloth.
6. You can clean the stone with soapy water and a soft brush. Dry naturally.
7. To neutralize negative energy, place the stone in ice water overnight and then drain it.
