Blue Topaz

Electric Blue Topaz, Classic Step Cut, Brazil, #249

Stone : Electric Blue Topaz
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2010
Item : #249
Design : Classic Step Cut
Origin : Brazil
Treatments : Irradiated
Weight : 12.8 carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 15 x 10 x 8 mm
Price : $770 AUD

Comments : This spectacular gemstone is all about COLOUR! This is the blue that aquamarine wishes it could be... if this was an aquamarine then you would be paying a small fortune for it. The colour is rich and a very fine blue... in person it is truly devine. It catches the eye across the room and looks fantastic in the Classic Step Cut (ie. Emerald Cut) design. As soon as I saw this piece of rough I knew it had to be cut in this design as this design is all about showing off the colour of a gem. This is an exceptionally fine gemstone!

Comments : A beautiful O'Briens Ck natural blue topaz. It is a nice soft blue and is cut in one of my octagon dome designs. If you are familiar with those amazing colourful geometric Moroccan tile designs that are found on walls of buildings and fountains and so forth, then you'll see the influence here in this gemstone design. It is a big stone and has lots of brilliance and flash... something special! Remember, all the topaz from O'Brien's Ck has been hand dug. No bulldozers have been used in the production of this gemstone.

Treatments : None
Weight : 5.9 carats
Clarity : Very Very Slightly Included
Size : 8 x 13 x 6 mm
Price : $300 AUD

Comments : A bright clear topaz from O'Briens Creek. The crown is cut in a checkerboard style and overall has a similar look to the Smith Bar design. There is just the tiniest little silver needle inclusion... these needles are common in topaz and are often so hard to see that you don't notice them until you go to polish the stone. A very nice gem.

Topaz, Crusader's Shield (with Cross), O'Briens Creek, Mt Surprise, Australia, #83

Stone : Topaz
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2008
Item : #83
Design : Crusader's Shield (with Cross) (Fred Van Sant)
Origin : O'Briens' Creek, Mt Surprise, North Queensland, Australia
Treatments : None
Weight : 5.44 carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 11mm X 10mm X 7mm
Price : $360 AUD

Comments : For those of a religious nature, this gemstone might interest you. It is cut in a design which, as the name suggests, resembles a crusader's shield. On the front (crown) of the gemstone is a "frosted" cross. This corresponds to the front of the shield where a cross would normally be painted. In one of the photos I have outlined the cross so that it can clearly be seen. It would make a special gift for someone and a lovely ring or pendant. It is cut in clear O'Briens Creek topaz.

Topaz, Dodecahedron, O'Briens Creek, Mt Surprise, Australia, #82

Stone : Topaz
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2008
Item : #82
Design : Dodecahedron (Jeff Ford)
Origin : O'Briens' Creek, Mt Surprise, North Queensland, Australia
Treatments : None
Weight : 8.94 carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 11mm
Price : $295 AUD

Comments : Now for something a little bit different. This is one in a series of platonic and archimedean solids that I am planning to cut. Not really sure that it could be used in jewellery, its more as a curiousity. For those of a spiritual metaphysical mind, it could perhaps be used in various meditations or some other similar exercise. I could see for example how if one was to meditation laying on their back, the dodecahedron could be placed on the third eye. I have noticed various cheap platonic solid sets for sale out there but they are mass produced, very inaccurate and the quality of the rock they are cut from is not the best. This dodecahedron is precision cut in clear O'Briens Creek topaz.
