The cut on this stone is the checkerboard cut, which works better with the Mercury Mist Topazes than any other cut. This stone picks up and throws light even when there's virtually no light to be thrown. Cherry and I were at a dimly lit restaurant a while back (our once a week splurge...), and you should have seen this thing sparkle -- it was a sight to see! A Mercury Mist Topaz is really incredible stone. Like all of the Mystic Fire topazes, it starts out in life as a natural, mined stone, but is enhanced with a treatment of Titanium, which I explain at length elsewhere. What's cool about this stone is the range of pastel iridescence. Icey blue's, cool green's, and splashes of gold and silver, with the occasional pink.
A really cool color, there's nothing really like it.
It's a nice addition to your collection, one that you can wear anytime you want with anything you want. And that's pretty hard to beat.
These are killer stones, and this is a good, rugged ring that won't get in your way.
Wear it at work, wear it on special occasions -- it's just a good ring.
