The Precious Gemstone Blue Topaz
Posted by Carla Grimaldi on
Blue Topaz
is a silicate mineral of fluorine and aluminum, with prismatic crystals mostly terminated by pyramidal faces. Pure topaz is colorless and transparent but is usually colored by impurities. Common topaz is wine red, yellow, pale gray, reddish-orange, or blue brown; but it can also be white, pale green, blue, gold, pink, reddish-yellow or opaque to transparent/translucent. We are going to talk a little bit about the healthy benefits behind blue topaz. Topaz is a very versatile material. Therefore it can be cut into a great variety of shapes, such as square, round, octagon, pear, oval, heart and even fancy shapes that can be considered as miniature sculptures. Topaz is allochromatic, which means that its color is caused by impurity elements or defects in its crystal structure rather than by an element of its basic chemical composition. The element chromium causes natural pink to happen. Blue Topaz has an orthorhombic crystal system and a hardness rate of 8.0 mohs.
