Topaz
A mineral best known for its use as a gemstone. Crystals are usually colourless but may be red, yellow, green, blue, or brown. The wine-yellow variety is the one usually cut and most highly prized as a gem. Corundum of similar colour sometimes goes under the name of Oriental topaz. Citrine, a yellow variety of quartz, is the most common substitute and may be sold as quartz topaz.
