    So many colours in Topaz, my favourite are the deep red and light pinks. I do like Imperial Topaz though, but it’s expensive. I thought Mystic Topaz was a bit of a gimmick but looking at that specimen it looks really amazing. Another great video. Thank you. 😀👍

    I was actually sort of hating on mystic topaz before watching this because I love natural gems so much. Being aware of all the treatments and seeing how artificial mystic topaz looked kept me away but after watching this video I’ve changed my mind. That cube is like something out of the Matrix and it’s insane what we’re able to do with CVD making something that alien-like come to life. I definitely think seeing it set in typical gemstone shapes doesn’t do it justice it needs a fantasy cut or something abstract.

    I love to facet (cut) Topaz. While it is harder than Quartz on the Moh's Scale, it cuts much easier and polishes much easier than Quartz. However, Topaz does have a cleavage plane that can be tricky. A misaligned stone can cleave while cutting or later when worn.
    The CUBE that was shown with the supposed "Deposition" to make it look like Mystic Topaz, may well have been Topaz but I suspect it is only GLASS. In fact it is an "X-Cube" as could be seen while Rob rotated the cube. One can see the "X" when looking at 2 of the 6 sides of the cube. See @11:13 and @11:29. That X is from a very thin, Dichroic Layer which is applied to 4 Prisms. The 4 Prisms are then FUSED together at each of the Dichroic Layer's Face making it look like an X when viewed from 2 opposing sides. All the other sides will show a Rainbow of Colours because of the Prismatic Affect.
    So while the colour was not from any Deposition like the other examples of Mystic Topaz, the material itself could be Topaz made into an X-Cube rather than using Glass.

    Great video. I love yellow or champagne colored imperial topaz best. I think that color coincides best for November birthstone, since it's a fall color. For years I thought my baby ring stone set in 10k gold was yellow topaz but alas, when I check it with a diamond tester the bar doesn't move, so I assume it's glass. 😿 So I adopted a mandarin garnet (spessartite) ring and I pretend it's my birthstone. Hey, the color works for fall!... Mystic topaz? fun but not something I can give my heart to.
