12.27 ct Blue Topaz-Blue - Pear

At 12.27 carats, this topaz from Brazil carries its blue color through a pear cut, measuring 17.5 x 12.6 x 8.7 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. Its color was brought up by irradiation, a standard and fully disclosed treatment for this material.

A natural topaz small enough to wear every day and real enough to mean it, not a lab stone and not glass. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
