It occurs colourless, in blue, and in warm golden-to-pink \"imperial\" tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost blue topaz is colourless topaz that has been irradiated and heated to a stable blue — a standard, disclosed treatment — which is why it is so affordable in large sizes. Natural imperial topaz is far rarer and commands a premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue topaz is a birthstone for December, and imperial topaz for November.
