Buyer intelligence
Red and fine imperial-type colors are among the most prized and rare. Much blue topaz in commerce owes its color to irradiation followed by heat.
Care
Hard but has perfect cleavage; protect from sharp impacts and sudden temperature changes.
BARADAK uses summarized gemological information and links to technical sources; commercial ranges do not replace a laboratory report or formal appraisal.
