White Topaz – A Natural Diamond Substitute
Natural silver topaz, or commonly called white topaz, is colorless but it also occurs in a broad range of colors: yellow, blue, pink, peach, gold, green, red, and light to medium brown. White or colorless topaz is often irradiated and heat-treated to form blue topaz.
White Topaz has a Mohs hardness of 8 with visually much less brilliance and fire than natural diamonds. The stone’s hardness allows it to take an exceptional polish that gives it extra pop and luster.
Topaz are found in Russia, Siberia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Africa and China, Japan, Pakistan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Australia, Mexico, and in the United States.
