Longer and narrower than the wider pears, this 5.01ct stone runs 13.5x8.8mm, which gives it a more tapered, elegant outline and a stronger pull toward the point. The blue is a shade deeper and the faceting more open, returning light in large clean planes rather than a fine scatter. Fine parallel growth lines are visible through the lower left when the stone is turned, a natural feature of the crystal it came from. Clarity is VVS with full transparency.
At over 13mm long this reads as a considerably bigger stone than its 5ct suggests, because the length does the work rather than the depth. Irradiation followed by heating is what gives Brazilian topaz its blue. A narrow pear suits a drop where the eye should travel downward, and the point wants a V-claw. Blue topaz belongs to December.
Natural sky blue topaz, 5.01ct pear cut, 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.
