Note:

Pink topaz is a rare occurrence in nature. The vast majority of pink topaz on the market has been created by the heat treatment of less desirable colours of rough material. Although similar to the creation of blue topaz through heat and irradiation, pink topaz commands higher prices because of the comparative rarity of suitable raw material .
