For many buyers in Pakistan, white topaz is the stone they turn to when they love the look of a clear gem but want to spend less. Some call it a diamond alternative. We prefer to say it is a natural stone in its own right, clear and bright, with its own character and a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale.

This stone is only known by its English name, so if you are used to trade terms, our Urdu and English gemstone names page may help.

This 9.45 carat piece

Colourless topaz is normally not treated. Message us on WhatsApp quoting AG-WH-0010 and we will tell you what we know about this exact stone, and independent lab testing is your choice.

At 9.45 carats it is a generous size. Give it a protective setting, because topaz can split along its cleavage if an edge is struck. A silver bezel ring or a simple pendant both suit it well.

More weights are in the white topaz category.

No advance payment: the rider waits while you open the parcel and check the stone. Karachi deliveries usually take 1 to 2 working days, other cities 2 to 4, and you can return it unused within 7 days. Before you choose, read our white topaz guide.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural white topaz with a weight of 9.45 Carat. Its price is Rs. 8,550 — roughly Rs. 905 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-WH-0010 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale white topaz rates 8. Few materials will scratch it, so it copes well with everyday ring wear. A soak in warm water with a drop of mild soap and a soft brush keeps it bright; skip the ultrasonic cleaner if inclusions reach the surface.

Whoever you buy white topaz from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone.
