Does anyone know the difference between mystic, rainbow and neptune garden topaz?
I have a ring that I got as an engagement ring (MY CHOICE, because I didn't want a diamond and something different) and when we purchased it from the jeweler's, it was described as a rainbow topaz. However, I have wanted to buy matching jewelry to go with it and it seems that every place on go, online or other jewelers,they have a different description of the stone; neptune garden topaz, rainbow topaz, blue rainbow topaz or blue mystic topaz. The description of the stone is it is mainly blue with major flashes of purple and some light amber if the light hits it just right. There is no green in it at all except when the amber and blue color mix slightly. From what I have learned, mystic. Any ideas??
All of these topaz stones are similar because they are the result of the same treatment procedure. White topaz is coated with an optical film and then exposed to high heat. The iridescence of the optical film seeps in and becomes part of the stone. Slight color differences can occur as natural variations.
What's in a name? This is mostly about marketing. A jeweler or gem dealer may choose to call the stone something he thinks will appeal to his customers. The reason it is confusing is that these topaz treatments are fairly new and experimentation and development of it are exploding. That means that new varieties are popping up so fast, there really isn't time to get names standardized.
The bottom line for you is: pick topaz stones that you think look like your ring. Names don't matter, as long as it's topaz.
