Pure topaz is transparent and colorless but is usually tinted by impurities resulting in varying colors. You can find topaz in any color from brown or colorless to saturations of blue, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple. Blue topaz can be found naturally, but it is rarer in comparison to other colors. Topaz can also show different colors at different crystal angles, making it very unique.
