All the Imperial/Precious Topaz below is from the world famous Ouro Preto Mine in Minas Gerais, Brasil.
 |
| A Precious Topaz from the major and most important deposit for Precious/Imperial Topaz - Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brasil.
This bright golden yellow oval weighs 2.93cts and measures approx 8x10mm. A lively brilliant gemstone that is clean.
The November Birthstone! The fine material only comes from this one location in the world and that is in the vicinity of
Ouro Preto. The town is known for its churches and is part of UNESCO. This would make a wonderful pendant or ring and
since it is a calibrated size, it will easily fit into a ring mounting with an 8x10mm Oval opening, saving you money
in the setting! You can also use the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase to find a setting or modify one to create your
very own ring/design should you chose to go that route.
Note that the image of the pendant below is of a similar Topaz, purchased at the same time as this one for sale, and the customer used the All That Glitters Jewelers Showcase to set it into a 14kt Yellow Gold Pendant with a 10pt SI1/SI2 G/H Diamond at the top! You can do the same or design anything you want using our services. (ramcam-23-0b) Contact Us for Pricing of this 2.93ct Ouro Topaz Precious Topaz! |

| When the owner of All That Glitters saw this Topaz, it was a MUST HAVE for inventory. This 3.86ct Cushion comes from the famous Ouro Preto Imperial Topaz deposit in Minas Gerais, Brasil. While traveling in Brasil in the past, the owner of All That Glitters visited Ouro Preto more than once and also had a tour of the gold mine in the adjacent town of Mariana. This particuar Topaz has numerous colors including pink, orange, salmon, champagne, etc. There are a few fine needles deep in the gemstone and this is an indication that the color is natural and not heated. Some of the Topaz from this location will be heated to obtain the much more expensive pink color. In this case, it was decided to leave it entirely natural and with the lovely color as it came out of the ground, there was really no need to consider enhancement of any kind. Depending on the lights, one might see one predominant color over another and under more than one light source, many colors could be seen at the same time! Some of the Topaz from this location will be heated to obtain the much more expensive pink color. In this case, it was decided to leave it entirely natural and with the lovely color as it came out of the ground, there was absolutely no need to consider enhancement of any kind. A fine color, large, brilliant, natural Topaz, it is a pleasure to view this piece for those who like this color and appreciate a fine Topaz. The color has a Padparadscha feel to it and is not the typical yellow or orangy color typically found - that being said, even a nice orange is not common, especially in larger sizes.

How Uncommon are the Really Fine Colors of Imperial Topaz?
Well, in four decades in the business, we have only had a total of 3 exceptional pieces. All three had different colors. 1.) The one pictured above 2.) A Flame Shaped Topaz that was a collaboration with Award Winning Goldsmith Derek Katzenbach, where we created a beautiful pendant with Natural Sapphires that mimiced the colors seen in the Topaz - reds, oranges, yellows, apricots, etc! The pendant was entered in to the AGTA Spectrum Awards in 2018, and was named "Fall in New England". "Inspired by the Changing Leaves and the Masterful Color Display in Nature", the Topaz as well as the 131 multi-colored fall-like colors of the Saphhire is something that must be seen as photos cannot capture the brilliance, sparkle, true colors and magnificence of the piece! 3.) A 7ct Elongated Orange Oval bought in the 1980s and sold years later to Victor Mueller from the Shop at Home TV Show. |
