Depending on other substances in a topaz it can have different colors. Yellow and orange topaz is called "Imperial Topaz". Topaz is often transparent. We can find topaz in form of big, long prismatic and short prismatic crystals. Topaz crystals split very well to their basis surface and so broken topaz crystals look like they were cut at the bottom.

Above all topaz can be found in Brazil, Pakistan, Russia and in Madgascar.
