History: Mystic Topaz has been on the market since 1998, and the first time I saw it wayyy back then,I was… Well, Mystified! Mystic topaz looks like no other gem in the world due to the Insane Iridescent Rainbow Colours that the stone exhibits. It is Brilliant, Bright, Sparkly, and Beautiful ,all rolled into a single gemstone!
The name “mystic topaz” sounds enigmatic and conjures up the idea of something magical. This gemstone only appeared in 1998, making it relatively young in comparison to many others. Mystic topaz is actually white in color (or colorless) – on the inside, at least, and enhanced with a color treatment.
Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.
