Here's the first of a couple of very special stones that I have ready for sale, finally, out of the Topaz collection. This stone is very hard and it is not easy to work. It is a very ancient topaz as the rock that it came from is over 750 million years old. During that time it spent eons under a chain of mountains as high as the Himalaya. Gradually the mountains wore down and the root of the mountains rose up creating the Gem District of Ontario. In these ancient mountain roots there are many crystals and a dizzying variety of gemstones. I was very lucky to come across the large crystal mass that these jewels came from.
Below we have an selection of Topaz rough stones. They are from 5 carats up. They are all very clear Imperial Topaz with no inclusions. There are also some examples of crystal masses with some very large crystals embedded in them. The price for the roughs is $100 per carat for perfect stones. Cut stones vary according to size, clarity and other factors. All stones are certified and guaranteed to be Imperial Topaz.
