1.39 ct Orange Topaz-Imperial - Pear

At 1.39 carats, this imperial topaz from Brazil carries its orange color through a pear cut, measuring 11.1 x 5.2 x 3.3 mm.

Topaz is a hard, brilliant gem species; its blues are the best known, but it runs from colorless through the coveted imperial oranges. Brazil has been one of the most prolific colored-gemstone sources in the world for a century, and still turns up new material on a regular basis. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
