yep ^That answer is 100% false. Yellow topaz is NOT the same as citrine. Though they appear similar in color, they are chemically very different. Citrine is a quartz crystal and topaz is mineral crystal and therefore the more expensive of the two stones.
Blue topaz is considered a semi-precious stone rather than a precious stone. While it is valued for its beautiful blue color and clarity, it does not hold the same status as precious stones like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. Blue topaz is widely available and often treated to enhance its color, contributing to its lower rarity and price compared to precious gemstones.
The value of a topaz rock can vary depending on factors such as size, color, clarity, and cut. Generally, smaller topaz stones can range from $10 to $100 per carat, while larger, high-quality stones can be worth several hundred or even thousands of dollars per carat. It is recommended to have a professional gemologist evaluate the specific characteristics of the topaz to determine its value accurately.
Mystic quartz is similar to mystic topaz. Each are white (colorless) stones to start with, then a treatment is applied to offer it in the mystic color. The treatment was originally developed for topaz stones. As demand grew, scientists figured out the way to apply their therapy to quartz at the same time. Why is that great? three causes: (1) Quartz and topaz share equivalent optical properties, so you cannot tell the difference visually. (2) Quartz is readily out there in bigger sizes. (3) Quartz has a lower precise gravity than topaz -- therefore, with two stones from the same exact size, the quartz will weigh much less by about 30%, yielding tremendous price savings.

No, smoky quartz and smoky topaz are not the same. Smoky quartz is a variety of the mineral quartz, while smoky topaz is a misnomer as true topaz does not come in smoky colors. It is more likely that gemstones referred to as smoky topaz are actually smoky quartz.
