Blue Topaz Gemstone

April 3rd, 2010

The Blue Topaz gemstone is simply stunning. The breathtaking brilliance of the blue Topaz is unequaled by any gemstone but the diamond. In fact, colorless topaz is sometimes mistaken for diamonds

Blue is just one of the many colors available with Topaz stones. Topaz is a birthstone of Scorpius, October 24 through November 21. The blue Topaz gemstones are remarkably brilliant and are among the most highly sought-after gemstones of the Topaz family.

Blue Topaz is available in a variety of shapes, round, teardrop, oval, and a number of shades ranging from light to quite dark, all bearing the notable brilliance found only in the blue Topaz.

Some pale blue topaz has been found naturally in mines, but most blue topaz now on the market is commercially influenced. It is irradiated and heated to produce the varying shades of blue. The shades of blue are dependent upon particular elements in the original stones, with both radiation and heat being used to intensify the color.

Topaz is thought by some to stimulate the endocrine system and assist in healing and with blood disorders. It is also thought to be a mood balancer, bestowing a calming effect on the wearer.

Topaz is found all over the world from Siberia to Mexico and in the United States. Topaz has a hardness of eight and is a gemstone of strength. It has sometimes proven to be a bit brittle, but all in all is a sturdy gemstone that holds up well with wear.

Blue topaz is comparable in color to aquamarine, but is less expensive and quite similar in appearance. It’s fiery glow makes it a favorite gemstone for jewelry from the simple to the elegant. If you find yourself the lucky owner of a beautiful blue topaz accessory it’s sure to become one of your favorites and you will likely wear it wherever you go.
