Description:The deposits around Ouro Preto have produced what are some of the most colorful and widely recognized Topaz in the world. The color of these pieces earned them the name "Imperial", and is oft deserved. Topaz is one of those gems that gets darker with larger stones, so little stones don't have the saturation that a larger stone typically has. This gem is a very attractive Imperial Topaz with a characteristic orange color that this material is known for. The stone has an "Emerald" cut and is virtually eye clean. These gems are becoming harder and harder to obtain since so much of these gems never reach the open market.
