Properties of blue topaz – description
Topaz, including blue, is a particularly hard stone. It is the standard for determining hardness class 8 on the Mohs scale. Its large specific gravity and high density gave rise to the name “heavy weight”, which was used by Ural miners for a long time.
According to its chemical composition, blue topaz is an aluminum fluorosilicate with vacancies in the crystal lattice. It was a certain deviation in the structure that caused the appearance of various shades of stone. This makes it possible to artificially refine (burn) natural blue topazes, making the shade more saturated and deeper. Jewelers divide both natural and artificial shades into several groups – Sky Blue, Swiss Blue and London Blue, sometimes called mystic blue topaz. In nature, the most saturated tones are extremely rare.
