About mystic topaz... Mystic topaz is an enhanced, or treated, gemstone that is not found naturally. To create mystic topaz, natural, colorless topaz is coated with a thin layer of titanium or similar metal. The coating is only microns thick and is applied to the stone’s pavilion, the underside angled portion that typically forms the bulk of the gem. The application process is protected by strict patents that limit the amount of mystic topaz available in the general market. The specialized coating alters the stone’s natural refraction, creating stunning rainbow colors, predominantly blues, greens, yellows, and small bursts of red shades. This iridescent effect is unknown in most gemstones and makes mystic topaz the perfect choice for unique rings without resorting to outrageous, unconventional styles. In simplest terms, mystic topaz is a natural stone that has been enhanced through this coating treatment. Natural topaz can be found in many locations, including Africa, Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Russia, and several U.S. states, including Utah, where it is the official state gemstone. While mystic topaz itself is hard to imitate (though there are inferior quality stones with flaws in the coating available from less reputable jewelers), topaz has many possible imposters, most notably quartz. Topaz comes in a variety of shades, including yellow, pink (also called imperial topaz), red-brown (rootbeer topaz), blue, light green, and violet. Despite its relative rarity, mystic topaz rings are fairly inexpensive. Because the stone has undergone significant treatments to create the distinctive rainbow coloration, it is not as valuable as a natural, untreated stone. Because of its affordability, mystic topaz is typically paired with less expensive metals, such as silver or lower karat gold (commonly 10k), which keeps the overall price of the jewelry very inexpensive. It is easy to find a mystic topaz ring with a fairly large gemstone for far less expense than similar untreated gems. |
