Topaz can be found in varying amounts world wide. However the major mines supplying topaz can be found in the Ural and Ilmen mountains, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Czech Republic, Germany, Norway, Pakistan, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Flinders Island and the United States.
The largest topaz gemstone was found in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is known as the "American Golden Topaz" and weighs approximately 22,892 carats.
Utah is probably the top producer of topaz crystals in the US; a seemingly endless supply of superb transparent, colorless to sherry-colored crystals come from Topaz Mountain, but it's not the only state that produces good topaz.
Topaz is typically associated with igneous rocks, particularly granite and pegmatites, where it forms as a result of high temperature and pressure conditions. It can also be found in metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss.
Blue topaz is a mineral that typically forms in igneous and metamorphic rocks. It crystallizes from hydrothermal fluids or in pegmatitic environments, where high temperatures and pressures allow for the formation of large crystals. Over time, the rock cycle can expose these rocks to weathering and erosion, breaking down the minerals and transporting them to sedimentary environments. Thus, blue topaz can be found in both igneous and sedimentary contexts within the broader rock cycle.
It is difficult to estimate the exact number of topaz rocks in the world as they are found in various locations and quantities. Topaz is a relatively common gemstone found in countries such as Brazil, United States, Russia, and Nigeria. Topaz is also found in a variety of colors including blue, yellow, pink, and white.
Topaz was formed at a high temperature, and is commonly found in igneous rock.
Topaz was first actually found in Poland in the Erz Mountains.
