Transparency. All topazes found in nature, as well as processed, do not have crystal-clear transparency. Even after processing, their middle retains some slightly visible turbidity, as if the mineral has filled a small fog from the inside. All real gems have a high density. It is one of the few stones that will sink if submerged in water. Natural topaz does not have a bright color. It is rather warm and tender than rich and shiny. Deeper tones are obtained by irradiation or heating of a natural gem (these are treated stones), but if it is to be kept in the sun, it will lose its saturation and return to its pale color or completely discolor. If you hold a real topaz in your hand, it will not heat up, but will remain slightly cool. The natural mineral has a very smooth surface and the smallest inclusions or defects in the structure. If you rub a real gem with wool, it will attract dust and the smallest hairs. /Translated from Russian/

Even if it's glass, it looks adorable! I think it's more beautiful than Swarovski cristal. I'm waiting for my silver (probably they mean white but I don't know) topaz that I purchased from a local store.

Real topaz will scratch glass and if you rub it with woollen cloth it will attract hair.

Even if it's lab grown , the cost could be hundreds of dollars for a topaz of that clarity and size.

Sinthethic topaz most likely. It's impossible to get a real topaz for that amount and specially that size.

There is an American ebay store called Design Associates. I have 13 of their gems and tested 10 of them with my limited equipment since I am a scientist. RI, density and on-magnification tests just came positive for the materials they claim to be. I recomend them

Borosilicate?

Heat the stone till hot spray with water lightly if cracked its glass

If that were real, you would NEVER had gotten it for so cheap.

I bought a ring pink topaz sterling silver, and the stone looks exactly like yours. I love rings with big stones :) The seller told me that it was a real stone. I don't know but i love the color. It looks so lovely, like baby pink or something like that. Thank you very much for sharing your video.

I just started buying some stones myself..could even be from the same seller as you purchased from. And many more. And for the prices as you mentioned I can't complain either. :) I just love the look of the stones and all the amazing cuts and colors. So I started a gemstone collection for myself. But as you mentioned as well. Hard to really know what's what. Without paying for a gem tester. Which I learned is hundreds of dollars. So not sure if that's a route I'd like to go right now. And some of my stones also came with certs like yours. If you happen to learn any thing about the company that certifys the stones please share. I'm also going to look into it. But interested to hear what you find out. The stone looks amazing and they are just so cool to hold and look at. I hope we are not getting glass stones. But I was curious. Do you know if the stones are glass would they scratch say a mirror? Or do only real stones scratch? Great post and thanks for sharing what you got.

Has to be synthetic

Let's see, you have purchased a museum quality, $10,000+ pink topaz for less than $8, what could possibly be wrong with that... hmmm. From the size, there can be only one of two possible answers, glass or plastic. Heat a needle red hot and touch it, plastic will smell/penetrate. For glass you'd need a microscope to detect tiny bubbles.

real gems is what they are called. i buy from them a lot. so far so good

Most important thing there is not a single person on planet earth who can judge stones by seeing the pics or videos. It's only direct eyes contact of an expert to evaluate the stone. After comes lab tests.

Transferring knowledge and expertise is like worship. I have a suggestion you better go for semi precious stones category. Beautiful in looks and affordable for common people.

It’s very beautiful! I have this Topaz that’s not pink but is a gold colour

which seller is this from? pls share to me! tq!❤

That piece of beauty would look awesome as a pendant.!!!!!! :)

I ordered a natural white topaz and I got a colorful piece of glass from India.

This looks treated to me. Hard to tell from a video. I would take it into natural light such as sunlight and see what it looks like.

No. its obviously not real. Buy from gem pandit the same size would cost you around 4000 dollars atleast . Best online authentic place to buy it. But even if its synthetic 7 dollars is a good deal.

the size to Big for topaz peach topas is verry rare that tis usally dose no comehat big

I ordered too from india but its ả gemstone ring blue sapphire and green emerald ring silver ring plated with gold but i think its a legit I bought it 45 dollars each including shipping and tax maybe its legit because the money of india is lower than canadian dollars converted thats why i believe its legit what i get its weight 35.30 carat and the other is 31.25 carat the company or lab company name is IGL or Indra Gemological Lab form india hope its legit but i trust india than china most in china are fake items lol 😊

Im from Pakistan. Topaz country. Its synthetic. Pink topaz of this size and quality costs 2500$ plus. I'm a gemologist family.

I want to pink topas

To check the authenticity of the stones ,You can just weigh your stone on the gemstone weighing scale and then verify the weight on this website which gives the actual weights of stones basis their sizes. I think this is a fake one. The price at which u mentioned buying definitely does not get u a real topaz. Having said that you have paid money for labour on cutting the synthetic stone.

I've watched some of your videos. I don't know what modern glass has air bubbles as you describe and don't think thats a good measure to confirm or deny what it is. There is some really pretty 'quartz' glass out there for cheap, it can come colored and refracts light better than this low quality stuff. In ancient cultures, man-made colored glass was very valuable. Spend maybe 3-4x the $ vs one of these fakes and you can get something pretty nice. (Murano glass, good dichroic faceted glass, etc.)

That is looking like glass piece , anyway you will not break test it. That size costs nearly 2lakh dollars

Why didn't the seller want to ship it? Isn't that why he or she has an Ebay store? I'm sorry you had to fight to get the item you purchased. The stone is beautiful, did you look at it through a loupe to check for inclusions?

That is Topaz.

THAT IS CRYSTAL .

Hello ,I love heated lead crystal cuts very nice too leaving sharp clean facets that distorte its truth ,Verdict :Synthetic 😔 Glass does come from the earth ,Drop it on the floor find it and pick it up ,Then its technically been mined 🤣.You can breath on it and if the frost should instantly dissapear .

To cut similar size topaz cost 50$ for the certificates cost around 15$ no way will get such enormous stone such lower price specially free shipping.

Hi

you can get a 1 carat pink topaz for 25-30$ but its not gonna be flawless like this piece of glass is. dont buy stuff from india

Is real stone but not topaz is qortz cheap stone and coloured

Fake one u can get real gemstone in India when u buy from a shop which is doing business for quite long time. Ebay can't give u the real gem

I think it’s quartz probably rosequartz

Well that’s a real Topaz as far as I can tell you. I wear a yellow Topaz ring myself and it’s identical. I’m not sure why are people saying that it’s fake and real one costs hundreds of thousands dollars. Here in India, Topaz is used as a substitute for Sapphire for astrological purposes and its really cheap. Ofcourse this one is heat treated as mentioned in the certificate.
