Physical properties

Formation & geological history

Natural topaz crystallizes in silica-rich igneous pegmatites and some hydrothermal veins, commonly millions to billions of years old. Commercial blue topaz is often color-treated; a glass or synthetic imitation is also possible.

Uses & applications

Used in jewelry; topaz is also collected as a mineral specimen.

Geological facts

Blue topaz is uncommon naturally; much of the vivid blue material sold in jewelry is treated colorless topaz.

Field identification & locations

A photo alone cannot distinguish topaz from blue glass or other gems; refractive-index testing and examination by a gemologist are needed. Topaz occurs in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and the United States.
