NATURAL IMPERIAL TOPAZ
Imperial Topaz is characterized by an exclusive color spectrum ranging from warm yellow, deep golden-orange, peach, and salmon to intense rose-red and rare purple shades.
An overlay of the trace elemen chromium and color centers in the crystal lattice creates its typical warm hues.
While common topaz is found in large quantities worldwide, deposits of this imperial variant are extremely limited, explaining its high market value and collector status.
Particularly high-quality specimens exceeding 10 carats qualify as investment-grade gemstones.
Nowadays these fine gemstones only come from Ouro Preto, a region located in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Topaz is a birthstone for November and the gem of the 23rd anniversary.
