Mystic Topaz is one of those trade names for clear topaz that has been coated with something (not sure what) to give it a new, different color. It can take on so many, many hues...but it's a fun stone to play with when you find some.
This one was actually not a first-quality rock. It was native-cut and it actually has a scooped-in edge along the top of the pavilion, which was quite strange. But it was a nice challenge to show that it could be made into this lovely little creation.
...................... "Mystic Topaz" (colorless topaz with coating); sterling silver square and half-round wire
I really like what you did with this one - taking a lesser stone and showcasing it in a stellar setting. What does it for me is the heavily layered wire. Nice contrast to the stone.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.
