Jewelry with white stones - what are they and what does it affect?

White Topaz

Description of white topaz

White topaz is a semi-precious stone belonging to the aluminosilicate group. In nature, it is formed in the form of a short column, a prism. Some specimens are very large in size, can reach 50 kg or more.

White topaz is often found near deposits:

• tourmaline;
• Morion;
• quartz;
• lepidolites.

Blue topaz - what is it good for?

The semi-precious stone has all the same physical characteristics as topazes of other colors. The mineral has:

• high hardness – 8 points on the Mohs scale;
• strength 3.49-3.60 g/cm3;
• strong glass luster;
• transparent or translucent color;
• pearlescent shading inside;
• high resistance to acids.

Jewelers and collectors also like this stone because over time it will not change its original shade, which is possible with topazes of other colors.

The white mineral is found in nature, but it can also be obtained in the laboratory. To do this, topaz of any shade must be heated to a certain temperature. This method also has a disadvantage: after heating, the stone becomes quite fragile.

Place of Birth

There are a lot of deposits of this mineral on our planet. Particularly large ones are in Brazil. This is where the record-breaking stone weighs 5 tons . There are gems of all colors there. Red topazes are highly prized (they are called “Brazilian rubies”).

In Russia, multi-colored stones are mined in Transbaikalia (near Nerchinsk), in the Urals (their figurative name is “Ural diamonds”).

In Germany, colorless samples (called “Saxon diamond”) and wine-yellow samples are found.

Sri Lanka supplies the market with colorless topazes (“water sapphires”) and golden ones.

How is it different from a diamond?

A completely transparent crystal is often found in nature, and after processing it becomes an almost complete copy of an expensive diamond. Topaz has such clear edges, a transparent and pure color, and inside you can see many colored tints.

Of course, a specialist can easily distinguish a semi-precious stone from a diamond. Unscrupulous sellers try to deceive buyers by offering a cheaper stone as a diamond. The main differences lie in hardness; here diamond is superior to other gems. There is also a difference in weight - topaz is heavier.

Jewelers are happy to use stone as a more affordable replica of expensive minerals. There is always a demand for such jewelry, because their appearance is simply impeccable.

Application area

Earrings with London topaz
London Blue topaz is too expensive, so its main use is in the jewelry industry. Bracelets, necklaces, brooches and tiaras are encrusted with blue stones. Faceted inserts of London topaz are refined into precious metals, resulting in elegant earrings, pendants and rings.

After processing, the stone becomes brittle, so items exposed to mechanical stress (for example, rings, bracelets) should be worn with caution.

How to distinguish from a fake

An accurate conclusion about whether the stone offered by the seller is genuine or not can be determined in a laboratory setting. This is not possible and you need to know a few tricks to help you identify a fake even in a jewelry store.

1. Natural topaz does not absorb heat - this is the main difference from synthetic analogues. Hold the jewelry you like in your hands for just a minute, and you will feel whether only the frame or the stone has warmed up. White topaz will be cool - otherwise, you are looking at high-quality quartz jewelry.
2. When going to the store, take with you a small piece of natural woolen fabric, remembering that transparent topaz is highly electrified. Select a piece of jewelry and lightly rub the stone with the cloth. In the case of a real mineral, electrification will occur literally instantly. Hairs and even pieces of paper will stick to the semi-precious edges. This will not happen with a fake.
3. A real stone will reflect light, shimmering with a mass of new shades.

When purchasing, take these tips into account, but remember that the main conclusion about the quality and origin of the stone can only be given by a specialist after conducting a series of studies in the laboratory.

Jewelry Care

Do not use powder, gel or paste with abrasive substances. The products contain soda, sodium salt and other components that can easily damage the surface of the stone.

The best way to care for jewelry is plain warm water with soap.

Do not rub the surface with a hard sponge, wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Store separately from other minerals in a special case or fabric bag (very sensitive to sunlight and may fade if left on the table frequently).

But there is no need to worry - you can restore the previous shade, just keep the crystal for several days in a dark place.

Healing properties of the stone

The semi-precious stone has a lot of healing properties, but people who notice that they are absent-minded and uncollected should pay special attention to it. The energy of the mineral will increase the ability to concentrate, improve memory and have a beneficial effect on human brain activity.

It is worth highlighting other therapeutic properties of white topaz; it is capable of:

• activate the body's defenses, protecting against colds;
• normalize blood pressure levels;
• help in the treatment of diseases of the circulatory system;
• calm nervous conditions;
• help in the fight against depression, fears and increased anxiety;
• eliminate insomnia, nightmares;
• accelerate skin cell regeneration;
• treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and thyroid gland.

It should be borne in mind that the listed medicinal properties have minimal manifestations. The energy of the mineral cannot completely get rid of the disease; it will only complement the drug treatment prescribed by a specialist.

Which zodiac signs are suitable for a multifaceted crystal?
