Imperial Topaz is the most sought after and expensive variety of topaz. It is not called Imperial for nothing. It reflects the creativity of nature in forming one gem with the most exquisite interplay of rich golden brown, orange and amber red.
There is not a lot of Imperial Topaz around. Indications are that sources are near exhaustion. If this is so, then prices for Imperial Topaz in the next 12 months or more will increase dramatically. Gemval.com values this gem at around $2,400.
This is a Magnificent Master Cut Imperial Topaz with a Brilliant luster - it is certain to increase in value with time - it will make a center stage gem which cannot fail to draw attention.
This Topaz has been irradiated to improve colour saturation. The process excites the atoms and turns the entire gem deeper colours. i.e it is not just a surface treatment. It is permanent (i.e the colour will not fade and is irreversible.
