4.61 ct Blue Topaz-Blue - Oval

At 4.61 carats, this topaz from Brazil carries its blue color through an oval cut, measuring 11.2 x 9.1 x 6.2 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 genuine topaz at a size and price you can actually wear, the real thing rather than a machine-grown copy. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
