London Blue topaz is a topaz that has a very specific, inky shade of aqua blue. It's darker than regular topaz but lighter than a sapphire. In fact, the color can be described as a halfway point between the two. London Blue topaz undergoes heat and irradiation to give it its deep blue color. From certain angles, it may also have a slightly greenish tone.
The topaz stone is composed of fluorinated aluminium silicate. It measures in with a hardness of eight on the Mohs scale, which means that it is harder than quartz although it often grows alongside it. While harder than quartz, London Blue topaz is not as hard as sapphires, rubies or diamonds.
Interestingly, most London Blue topaz have been exposed to radiation. In essence, London Blue is a white topaz which has been exposed in a nuclear reactor to change the color to a saturated and deep blue. That's why London Blues are also referred to as 'Inky' and 'Steely' Topaz.
This nuclear reactor plays an important part in the overall process and helps produce a deep blue color that can be lightened using heat. However, this radiation is no cause for alarm as irradiated gemstones are not harmful.
London Blue topaz can be slightly radioactive immediately after treatment but any measurable trace of radiation decays within a few months. Treated stones are monitored and regulated. They are not sold until the levels of radioactivity fall far below levels that could have any notable effect on your health.
Known as The Jewel of Love and Loyalty, this particular shade of topaz carries significant meaning. Blue topaz is representative of eternal romance and friendship, making it the perfect gift for a loved one. It carries deep symbolism relating to honesty, clarity and strong emotional attachment.
Blue Topaz is also one of the birthstones for December!
