some interesting stuff about Topaz
The name topaz was derived from the Island of Topazos in the Red Sea, which probably refers to Zeberged, ancient source for peridot. But it is more likely that the name derives from the Sanskrit word «tapas» meaning fire. The Egyptians believed that topaz was colored with the golden glow of the sun god Ra. The ancient Greeks believed that it had the power to increase one’s strength and make its wearer invisible in cases of emergency.The Romans associated topaz with Jupiter, who is also the god of the sun. In the 19th century, pink topaz was discovered in Russia. The gemstone was so coveted that only the Czar, his family, and those he gave it to were allowed ownership. When worn as amulet, topaz was said to drive away sadness and strengthen the intellect.Mounted in gold and hung around the neck, it was believed to dispel bad charms.Reduced to powder and put in wine, topaz was a cure for insomnia, asthma, burns and hemorrhage.Topaz was also said to change its color in the presence of poisoned food or drink.All these mystical powers were believed to increase and decrease with the phases of the moon. One of the most famous topaz gems is a giant specimen set in the Portuguese Crown.Another beautiful topaz is kept in the Green Vault in Dresden. The Smithsonian Institution, American Museum of Natural History in New York, and the British Museum display also numerous outstanding rough or cut stones. The natural blue crystals found in Texas and in the Ural Mountains of Russia are not mined in enough quantities to meet the demand for inexpensive transparent blue gems. White or light blue topaz is commonly irradiated and heat treated to become blue. These stones are stable in natural light but not under the jeweler’s torch, where its color reverses to white. Natural brownish-yellow stones are heated to become pink.or « champagne » topaz, even though it is a natural stone, lit looses its color when exposed to sunlight or strong electrical lighting.
Did you ever wonder? IS TOPAZ ALL NATURAL AND/OR TREATED?
All topaz Except Silver/translucent and Champagne, Imperial or Precious Topaz which are natural offers a fine golden-yellow variety to bi colored browns and peachy browns, known as Imperial topaz, is relatively scarce. Champagne topaz: One of the very few naturally colored varieties of topaz in a light to medium shade of brown, primarily found in Mexico.
Common Blue Topaz treatments Blue topaz begins as colorless or very lightly tinted natural topaz crystals, which are then Irradiated to change the color to blue and heated to stabilize the change. Neutron bombardment in a nuclear reactor produces the deep slightly greenish or grayish "London Blue", while electron bombardment in a linear accelerator results in the light aqua-like blue known as "Sky Blue". Combinations of both treatments produce the highly saturated "Swiss" and "Electric" blues. If neutron bombardment has been used, there is residual radioactivity, and the gems must be held, up to a year, before they have "cooled" enough to be worn.

History/background
I have been making jewelry since the 1960's when I was a teenager. I use beads, stones, semi-precious gems, metals, vintage peices, and make one of a kind jewelry. I never make two peices of jewelry alike. I owned a gallery in Laguna Beach, California and have sold in art fairs and shows since the 1980's. Because of November, 2007 problems in communication and some feedback I feel I need to state my policies and conditions clearly in each new listing, so here it goes. Please read this before bidding or purchasing from Zetroc
