Imperial topaz is a rare and highly prized variety of topaz known for its rich, warm hues, ranging from golden yellow to vibrant shades of pink, peach, and reddish-orange. Originally discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 19th century, Imperial topaz was named in honor of the Russian Czars and was so valuable that only royalty was allowed to own it. Today, high-quality Imperial topaz primarily comes from the Ouro Preto region of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
