Ukrainian Topaz Characteristics:
-
Color: Ukrainian topaz is known to occur in various colors, including:
- Blue: Often a light to medium blue, potentially resulting from irradiation and heat treatment of colorless topaz.
- Yellow to Golden-Brown (Sherry): These colors are closer to the naturally occurring shades of topaz.
- Bicolor: Some pieces exhibit both blue and yellow/golden-brown hues within the same stone, making them particularly unique.
- Clarity: High-quality Ukrainian topaz is often eye-clean, meaning it has few to no visible inclusions.
- Size: The Volyn region has been known to produce exceptionally large, gem-quality topaz crystals.
- Special Features: Some Ukrainian topaz crystals display unique natural etch patterns on their surfaces, which lapidaries may choose to retain in the finished gem for a distinctive look.
Lore and Significance:
- Ancient Beliefs: Topaz was associated with the sun god Ra in ancient Egypt and believed to have protective powers in ancient Greece.
- Medieval Associations: In the Middle Ages, topaz was linked to mental enhancement and the ability to break spells.
- Modern Meanings: Today, topaz is often associated with love, clarity, abundance, and joy. Different colors carry their own symbolism (e.g., blue for communication, yellow for abundance).
