Topaz is available in almost every color with blue being the most popular. There is even a much darker hue known a London Blue Topaz. The natural variations in color are due to the amount of iron in the stone and whether the stone has been exposed to heat.

Some blue topaz has been artificially treated with extreme heat to enhance the color to deeper shades.
