The most turquoise-leaning of the small London blues, this 0.28ct round is noticeably brighter and greener than the steel-toned stones in the same size, with a wide star and vivid flashes right around the crown. It stays lit face-up rather than closing into shadow, which is what makes it the liveliest of the group. Clarity is VS and the interior reads clean. The polish is bright and the circle is true.
Brighter, greener London blue is the most forgiving of the range next to warm metals, and the easiest to wear in daylight. This is Brazilian material colored by irradiation and a follow-up heating. A small vivid round is worth saving for a spot where it will be seen rather than buried in a pavé line. December counts blue topaz among its birthstones.
Natural London blue topaz, bright 4mm round, 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.
