Lapidary & Faceting Guidelines
Critical Handling Tips:
- Cleavage Awareness: Topaz has perfect basal cleavage - NEVER apply pressure perpendicular to the crystal's length
- Temperature Sensitivity: Avoid sudden temperature changes; heat slowly and cool gradually
- Orientation: Always orient the table perpendicular to the c-axis to minimize cleavage risk
- Pressure Control: Use light, consistent pressure when dopping and cutting
Cutting Recommendations:
- Preferred Cuts: Oval, cushion, emerald cut work best with topaz's crystal structure
- Avoid: Sharp corners or thin pavilions that stress cleavage planes
- Angles: Crown angles 40-43°, pavilion angles 41-43° for optimal brilliance
- Polish Direction: Always polish away from cleavage planes
Equipment & Materials:
- Saw: Diamond blade with light pressure
- Grinding: 220-400 grit for pre-forming
- Polishing: Cerium oxide or diamond paste on tin lap
- Dopping: Use low-temperature wax, avoid excessive heat
Frequently Asked Questions for Lapidaries
Q: Why does my topaz sometimes chip during cutting? A: You're likely cutting against the cleavage plane. Always check crystal orientation before starting.
Q: What's the best way to orient rough topaz? A: Look for the elongated crystal faces - the table should be cut perpendicular to this direction.
Q: Can I heat-treat these further? A: These are already heat-treated. Further heating may cause color loss or cracking.
Q: What causes the milky areas in some stones? A: Fluid inclusions or micro-fractures. These areas should be avoided or worked around.
Q: Best polishing technique for topaz? A: Use cerium oxide on tin lap with light pressure and consistent speed.
