Just a great parcel of precious Topaz from Ouro Preto, Brazil. This parcel has a great mix of colors, from Orange, to Peach, to Apricot. This is the most valuable form of Topaz, worth about 10x more than standard Blues and Champagnes. The precious Topaz mined in Ouro Preto is easy to distinguish from the Brownish Cognac and Champagne Topaz coming out of Afghanistan and elsewhere because the Ouro Preto Topaz has a slightly higher refractive index. Where all other Topaz measures out in the 1.60-1.62 range, the Ouro Preto precious Topaz generally measures in the 1.61-1.63 range, sometimes even up to 1.64. For this reason, it’s sometimes even mistaken for Tourmaline.

We’ve gotten a bunch of this Topaz in recently, so we’re offering it at well below wholesale. But this material is hard to come by, so don’t miss out. Lots of top quality Topaz in this parcel. The average size is around 4x11x2mm.

I   took pictures of these stones in high magnification against a   white background   to give   you the best idea of color and quality.  As a certified   gemologist I can verify that the above description is       accurate and   that this stone/stones have been tested in the gem lab to   verify   identity and natural origin.
