Lemon Topaz Tumbled Stones, 1 lb

A full pound of tumbled topaz. Sold by weight, so the count varies.

Warm yellow to golden. The colour that gives the stone its name.

Heat-treated, and we say so. Standard practice in the trade, and worth stating plainly.

• Approximately 1 lb of tumbled lemon topaz; count and size vary
• Heat-treated to develop the yellow colour, which is standard for this material
• Natural stone: shade and size vary piece to piece
• SKU: GTTOPLB

Cunningham seats topaz under the Sun and the element of Fire, naming protection, healing, weight loss, money, love, and prosperity among its powers, which places it on Sunday among the days of the week. It is one of the stones with a genuinely old record; topaz appears in classical sources, and the Greeks held it could increase strength.

We would rather be honest about the colour. Yellow topaz is very often heat-treated, and this material is: the treatment is stable, permanent, and entirely standard in the trade, and it does not make the stone less real. What it does mean is that anyone selling untreated golden topaz at a bulk price is probably not telling you everything, and we would rather tell you.

1. Cleanse the batch on arrival with smoke or moonlight.
2. Carry one, or set one where sunlight will catch it; it is a Sun stone in the old reckoning.
3. Scatter stones through a grid, or fill a bowl.
4. Work it on a Sunday, if you keep planetary timing.
5. Store them out of long direct sun, which can fade some treated stones over time.

• Citrine Tumbled Stones, 1 lb: the other warm yellow stone, also usually heat-treated.
• Lemurian Mini Quartz Points, 1 lb: quartz points to amplify a grid.
• Green Household Candles: the money register as a flame.
• White Selenite Wand: the cleansing companion.
• White Sage Smudge Stick: the arrival cleanse for a pound of stones.

Is it real topaz?

Yes. It is genuine topaz, heat-treated to develop the yellow colour, which is standard and permanent. Most golden topaz on the market is treated this way.

Cunningham seats topaz under the Sun and the element Fire, naming protection, money, love, and prosperity among its powers, which puts it on Sunday.

How many stones come in a pound?

It varies, since they are sold by weight rather than count.

Why does the treatment matter?

Because you should know what you are buying. The treatment is standard and does not make the stone less genuine, but a seller who does not mention it is not telling you the whole story.

How do I care for them?

Cleanse with smoke or moonlight, and keep them out of long direct sun, which can fade some treated stones over time.
