HOW TO CHOOSE

Pink topaz may be the least known of the 24 gemstones presented in this book. Compared to yellowish stones, which are not especially popular in general, the potential diamond for pink stones, regardless of type, appears to be high. A ring displaying a 3-carat gem-quality pink topaz surrounded by diamonds has exquisite beauty. A jewelry-quality stone of 1 carat can also be enjoyed as one of a limited number of pink gemstones.

The value of a one-carat-size pink topaz of jewelry quality is approximately US $300 for the stone alone (2004).
