2.48 ct Orange Topaz-Imperial - Pear

At 2.48 carats, this topaz from Brazil carries its orange color through a pear cut, measuring 9.4 x 7.3 x 5.3 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 heated, a standard and stable treatment that we disclose plainly, the way an honest seller should.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
