The mystic fire topaz is a gemstone characterized by its array of colors in red, blue, green, purple and brown. The shimmering brilliance of the mystic fire is enhanced by bright lighting conditions.
History
The mystic fire topaz was patented in 1998 by Azotic Coating Technology Inc., located in Minnesota.
Features
What brings the rainbow of hues to the gemstone is a specialized titanium coating applied to the underside of the stone. This ultra-thin coating allows for light-refractive ability to create the bright display of colors.
Significance
The gemstone is created from the white topaz, which is quite resistant to daily use. Because the titanium coating is on the underside of the stone, it is very durable for use in jewelry pieces.
Considerations
Mystic fire topaz is often set in sterling silver, white and yellow gold, and platinum settings.
Care
Designer gemstone jewelry containing mystic fire topaz should be cared for in the same way as pearls and opals. High heat temperatures and abrasive cleansers can damage the refractive ability of the stone, therefore only mild cleansing liquids and warm water should be used to bring back the luster of the stone.
