Many consumers know topaz as simply an inexpensive blue gem. 💎💙

They’re surprised to learn that its blue color is hardly ever natural: It’s almost always caused by treatment.

They might also be surprised to know that topaz has so many more colors to offer gem lovers, including pinks and purples that rival the finest fancy sapphires.

Topaz is also pleochroic, meaning that the gem can show different colors in different crystal directions.
