Topaz are Insoluble in acids. It has great hardness and perfect basal cleavage. Even though, Topaz jewelry should not be ultrasonically cleaned; the vibration can cause incipient cleavage cracks to open, cleaving the stone. Some treated stones (particularly the expensive reds, pinks, violets and deep Oranges, but not blue) are known to fade with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
