Anyone know anything about "mystic topaz" that displays a sort of rainbow of colors? -- Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:11, July 27, 2005 (UTC) "Mystic Topaz" is a treated form of colorless Topaz that is widely available on a commercial basis. The color treatment is confined to the surface of the gemstone. T.E. Goodwin 22:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Colourless Topaz (so-called Silver Topaz) and blue Topaz is also found in Namibia.

Mystic Topaz is actually a new topaz, found in 1998. Ynah Deza ( talk) 16:14, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Why is there no mention in the article of the different shades of blue? Namely sky blue (which is what people usually see when they're shown blue topaz), swiss blue (a sort of neon blue color), and London blue (a deep grayish-blue). -- 71.131.153.174 ( talk) 20:12, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
This article states some mythical uses of topaz, such as curing fevers and calming excessive anger. Should we include this information somewhere in the page? Let me know what you all think. ModestOhaio ( talk) 19:51, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
