EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases a beautiful topaz gemstone, captured in exquisite detail by the skilled lens of Frank Greenaway. Topaz is a silicate mineral, specifically a monoclinic aluminum silicate fluoride hydroxide, making it a member of the silicate family. With a chemical composition of Al2SiO4(F,OH), topaz is classified as a nesosilicate or orthosilicate mineral, depending on the presence or absence of water in its crystal structure. Born from the earth's crust, topaz is a native metal that forms in various geological conditions, often in pegmatites and metamorphic rocks. The gemstone is most commonly found in Brazil, but also in other parts of the world, including Russia, Nigeria, and the United States. November's birthstone, topaz is celebrated for its unique beauty and rarity. The gemstone comes in various shades, from pale yellow to golden brown, blue, green, and even pink. This particular topaz exhibits a brilliant golden hue, with its facets reflecting light in a mesmerizing display of fire and brilliance. The mineral's name is derived from the Greek word "topazios," which means "to find," reflecting the belief that it could bring its wearer the ability to find wealth and good fortune. Today, topaz continues to captivate and inspire, a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the art of photography.
