If you are looking for a beautiful, rare natural crystal piece—steeped in history linked to royal luxury and Brazil's mineral heritage—LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS has crafted this necklace featuring a white rhodium-plated Priastrine chain and a silver-plated setting holding a raw, euhedral prism of gem-quality B-A grade Imperial Topaz (7.1 ct). It originates from the only currently known source in the Ouro Preto region of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
A Treasure of Nature. Imperial Topaz is one of the planet's noblest and rarest gemstones, found almost exclusively in Minas Gerais. Its intense vitreous luster, golden transparency, and hues ranging from pale yellow to deep pinkish-amber make it a unique gemstone—rich in history, energy, and incomparable aesthetic value.
An artisanal piece featuring an authentic, original raw gemstone crystal—at an accessible price.
Its natural origin (non-synthetic), authenticity, and provenance are clearly evident.
ORIGIN & THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY
Topaz is an aluminum silicate mineral containing fluorine or hydroxyl ions (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂); fluorine gas concentrations high enough to form minerals occur only in specific, unique geological environments. Most of its crystals grow within veins and cavities in igneous rocks during the final stages of magma cooling. Imperial Topaz from Ouro Preto (Minas Gerais, Brazil) originates from the percolation of pneumatolytic/hydrothermal fluids into extensional sites associated with folds formed in carbonate horizons during the Neoproterozoic Brasiliano Orogeny, approximately 600 million years ago.
Traditionally, Imperial Topaz was considered orange, displaying reddish hues when tilted; today, a range of colors is recognized, including golden, pink, peach, sherry, champagne, colorless, bicolored, and multicolored. These colors are directly linked to the presence of elements such as fluorine, cerium, chromium, manganese, and iron within this aluminum-oxygen silicate.
Its gemological quality is defined by transparency, luster, inclusions, crystal habit, color saturation, and—above all—its hues, which include golden, peach-pink, pink, lilac, or wine tones (the latter commanding the highest value).
DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THIS GEM
.Unique properties: It typically forms prismatic, terminated crystals featuring growth striations parallel to the long axis, basal cleavage, orthorhombic habit, striking transparency, and unique inclusions. It also possesses high hardness (8.0) and specific gravity (3.49 to 3.57), along with a relatively low refractive index (1.606 to 1.644), which contributes to its characteristic intense vitreous luster.
.Rarity: It occurs exclusively in the Ouro Preto region of Minas Gerais, Brazil—an area world-renowned for these unique deposits since 1730. .Gemological grade ranging from B (light yellow, slight pinkish hue, lustrous, translucent, with inclusions, corroded prismatic form, parallel growth striations along the crystal axis) to A (dark yellow to peach, lustrous, transparent, few inclusions, euhedrally terminated prismatic form, parallel growth striations along the crystal axis).
.Certified authenticity and origin: comes with a certificate of origin and authenticity; backed by scientific expertise (geologist-gemologist with 42+ years of experience) and a dossier of researched information, adhering to the LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS standard.
.Brazilian artisanal design: low environmental impact and use of authentic natural specimens; handcrafted wire-wrapped pendant allowing the crystals to be admired in their extracted state, without artificial alterations, showcasing their unique "in natura" patterns.
.Each natural crystal possesses its own unique texture, shape, hue, and reflections. This uniqueness is precisely what makes each "geojewel" (geojoia) one-of-a-kind, exclusive, and possessed of its own distinct identity.
.Premium finish: metal components plated in white rhodium and silver, with a plating thickness exceeding 0.75µ.
.Ethical and educational curation: geodiversity with an origin story.
.Images of the piece are as realistic as possible (minimal editing) and arranged in sequence: full piece, crystal detail, pendant detail, shown on a mannequin bust, and shown on a real model.
SYMBOLISM & ENERGY — TRADITIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Golden Topaz was one of the first crystals discovered and used by humans, prized for its connection to the sun. It is also known as one of the "Sunday Gemstones," both because its color associates it with the sun and because this spiritual stone is traditionally valued for dispelling curses (hence its connection to the holy day of Sunday). Its earliest known use is for protection against dark spells and evil spirits—warding off the evil eye—and since then, it has been associated with virtually anything related to eye healing. There are archaeological references to the mining and use of the topaz in Ancient Egypt, and yellow topaz is also mentioned in Old Testament texts. It carries an aura of luxury and sophistication historically associated with royalty and nobility across various eras.
During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Imperial Topaz remained a gemstone for kings and queens. It was frequently given as a gift to commemorate important events or offered as a tribute to royalty. It received this name from 17th-century Russian tsars, who claimed exclusive rights to the Russian mines (now depleted).
It promotes creativity, mental clarity and focus, confidence, hope, abundance, relaxation, and positivity, while dispelling negativity and balancing emotions, manifestation, and divine guidance.
