Blue-Blue Topaz




It seems that there is fake Topaz circulating amongst the unsuspected. Sterling Canyon doesn't deal with Topaz but plans to soon.  Now the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires all Blue Topaz to be irradiated to test for authenticity. If the Blue Topaz does not have the NRC certification, don't buy it! Actually non-certified Topaz will be illegal to sell in the U.S. This new regulation went into effect November 30, 2007. The retailers have had plenty of time to clean out their stock of artificial Topaz.  However, if you are in the position to buy a blue Topaz necklace or ring, it might be a good idea to ask the jeweler for certification.
Koodoos for the Feds.
