What is topaz and its characteristics?

Topaz, also known as citrine, is a salt mineral of fluorosilicic acid, which is formed during the crystallization of igneous rocks. Generally it is columnar or irregular granular, with very good glass luster, while some are colorless and transparent. If the topaz is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it will fade. Topaz belongs to the general gem, but in daily life, topaz is often easy to mix with yellow crystal. How do we distinguish it?

Identification and difference of topaz:

In fact, topaz and crystal are the easiest to distinguish in raw materials. Since the top surface of the topaz has vertical stripes, the top of the crystal is horizontal stripes. For jewelry without inlays, the feel is different. Generally, topaz is heavier than crystal. If you use your hand to lick, the topaz gives the feeling of falling, while the crystal is lighter. In addition, the luster of the topaz gemstone is very soft, while the crystal is cold and sharp.

Topaz and tourmaline: Tourmaline has a very strong dichroism, and its birefringence is also very strong, often seeing double shadows; while topaz is not only pink, but the dichroism of other colors of topaz is very weak.

Blue topaz and aquamarine: In general, these two gems are more indistinguishable, but there are still identified reference features: blue aquamarine tends to have some yellow-green tones and a slight dichroism. It is only a lighter weight. If accurate identification is required, a device refractometer is also required for the determination.
