Topaz is normally found in Topasas Island located in the Red Sea. It is listed as the ninth layer of the foundation of the Holy City. It is usually transparent or translucent meaning that light can partially shine through the stone. The blue topaz is the state gemstone for the state of Texas.
Topaz can come in a variety of colors but the most common color is the bluish color associated with the birthstone for the month of December. The most typical color of topaz is a shade of yellow but the most desired stone is called Imperial topaz which is a combination of yellow and brown. Some jewelers may class topaz as citrine but the “false” description leads buyers to think they are buying the more expensive topaz.
