In this handcrafted natural crystal jewel from LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS, the transparent Topaz is kept in its original form (found in the mine), highlighting its euhedral (perfect) prismatic facets and the "hyaline" luminosity of an EXTRA 2 grade gem (14.0 ct). Mounted in 2 handcrafted wire pendants in 2 organic earrings plated in 18k Gold; they deliver sophisticated shine, protection and timeless elegance for everyday wear.

Topaz is a fluorine and aluminum silicate (Al2SiO4(F,OH)2), known for its vitreous luster, high optical dispersion (ability to split white light into its spectral colors - responsible for the "fire" or flashes of color), high density, basal cleavage and excellent resistance; it is the hardest silicate mineral ever discovered (8 on the Mohs scale).

This piece features a transparent, colorless, or white Topaz crystal. Although white is the most common color of this mineral, this one has a rare gemological grade, EXTRA (ice-water color, high transparency, and matrix <10%). In natural light, it is hyaline (similar to glass) and highly sought after by collectors and jewelers who seek the aesthetics of "pure crystal," reminiscent of a diamond, but less expensive.

The best transparent Topaz comes from various locations in Brazil, in this case, from the "Urubu Mine" - Pedra Azul - region of Teófilo Otoni - Minas Gerais - Brazil.

Symbolism and energetic traditions

Topaz is one of the oldest known minerals in the world (more than 3000 BC). It was widely used by various civilizations in all corners of the globe, including, among others, the Egyptians, the Greek Empire, the Roman Empire, the French Republic, the Spanish Empire, all of Europe in the Middle Ages, and the ancient society of Sri Lanka.

Its application as a gemstone has fascinated and inspired admiration throughout history. It had numerous different uses and was believed to heal, treat, and protect virtually everything. It is believed to be associated with various qualities, such as: strength, wisdom, courage; improving awareness, manifestation, clarity, mental focus, creativity, self-confidence, and spirit. It is also used to stimulate communication and purpose, relax (relieve stress), and balance emotions.

Considered the "Crystal of Opening Paths and Meditation," the transparent Topaz emanates a very high vibration that immediately resonates with the Chakras: Crown, Solar Plexus, and Third Eye. Zodiac: Sagittarius, Virgo, and Leo. Birth: November. (Energetic traditions do not replace medical/professional guidance).

Topaz continues to be a popular and versatile gemstone in the appeal and design of modern jewelry, making it a meaningful choice for jewelry and personal gifts. Currently, its crystals are being chosen for the creation of creative, bold, sustainable jewelry in the "Boho" style; creating a striking statement fashion.
