9.48 Ct. Blue Topaz from Brazil

This transparent 9.48 carat oval blue topaz presents itself as a well proportioned and highly wearable gem, with dimensions of 13.97 by 11.96 by 8.90 mm and a mixed brilliant cut that balances brilliant faceting on the crown with a faceted pavilion to maximize scintillation and return of light. The stone carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates only minor internal features that do not detract from the gem when set, making it an excellent choice for buyers who prioritize visual purity without paying the premium for flawless material. Color is described as medium intensity, offering a lively and true blue that photographs and sits well against both white and warm metals, while the excellent polish contributes to crisp facet reflections and long term wearability. The gem has been irradiated to achieve its blue hue, a stable and industry accepted enhancement when properly disclosed, and originates from Brazil, a source well regarded for producing clean and well colored topaz specimens, which provides provenance that educated buyers appreciate.
