**Mystic quartz and topaz are confused with many other gems due to the large quantity of synthetic quartz and gems on the market today.  One of the most recently gems to be confused with Mystic quartz is Azotic quartz,  Azotic is a patent treatment applied to many types of gemstones not only quartz so be careful when using the Term Azotic and Mystic.  If a quartz gemstone were treated by Azotic it would then be called Azotic quartz.
