Topaz is an aluminium silicate containing fluorine and hydroxyl groups, with the chemical formula Al2SiO4(F,OH)2. It crystallises in the orthorhombic system and generally displays a vitreous lustre. Although it reaches 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, its pronounced cleavage means that careful handling is still required to protect the crystals.
When comparing the topaz specimens available, several features can be considered: the shape and definition of the crystallisation, the lustre of the crystal faces, transparency, colour and the way the crystal is positioned on its matrix. The presence of a matrix or an association with another mineral can also enhance the contrast and visual appeal of the piece. Photographs and videos provide a detailed view of each topaz before purchase, while its origin, dimensions, weight and main characteristics are specified on the corresponding product page.
