About Topazolite

Topazolite is a transparent yellow to golden-green variety of andradite garnet that closely resembles topaz in color and brilliance, with a higher dispersion than diamond producing remarkable fire in faceted stones. Fine crystals from the Val Malenco and Piedmont regions of Italy, as well as Switzerland, are the most celebrated, though quality material also occurs in Russia and Namibia. Its extraordinary brilliance and warm golden tones make topazolite one of the most beautiful and underappreciated of garnet varieties.
