Softer and greyer than the brighter stones cut to the same 9x7mm size, this 2.38ct oval spreads its light in diffuse planes with a milky quality through the middle of the crown. The blue is muted rather than vivid, closer to a cool neutral than to a definite sky. Clarity is VS. The outline is accurate and the polish is even, the softness coming from the optics rather than from the surface.
A muted stone is the easier one to wear beside other gems, because it does not compete for attention the way a vivid blue does. This is irradiated and heated Brazilian topaz, permanently colored. Yellow gold warms a cool grey-blue noticeably, which is a way of adjusting the tone without changing the stone. December claims blue topaz among its birthstones.
Natural sky blue topaz, 2.38ct oval, sold loose.

About topaz
Topaz is 8 on the Mohs scale, so it resists scratches well, but it has perfect cleavage along one plane, and a sharp knock can split it even when the surface shows no scratches. It suits pendants and earrings, and rings too if worn with care.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: vibration and sudden temperature changes can start a crack along its cleavage.
Wear and storage
Take it off for sport, gardening or heavy work: a sharp knock can split it. Harder stones such as sapphire, ruby and diamond can scratch it, so store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This topaz is irradiated, the usual treatment for this color. Topaz should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath. Ask for gentle pressure when setting, since a hard push can split it.
