I am not a gemologist, but I have bought loose stones all over the world. Aquamarine and Topaz are actually two different types of gems, but their hues can overlap. Aquamarine is less refractive than Topaz and if you have a loop and can compare the two stones side by side, you may be able to discern the difference. The Topaz will produce doublet lines (kind of like you are seeing double) where the aquamarine will not. The only way to really tell is to have the gem tested on a hardness scale. Aquamarine is in the 7-7.5 range where as Topaz will be a strong 8.

Deeper blue aquamarines are the most expensive but they are also the most counterfeited so be careful. Many jewelers will purposely or unknowingly sell topaz as Auqamarine as the aqua fetches higher prices. In the end, it makes little difference. Buy the color you like.

Yes, topaz has perfect basal cleavage. This means it can be easily split along a specific plane, usually resulting in smooth, flat surfaces.

Well. there is actually no charm that can do that- but there IS a way that works. Find a small necklace that you like- it does not have to fancy or expensive. Wear it- as a reminder. When you start to think about negative things that cannot be changed by you (that is the definition of useless worrying, by the way) your necklace will remind you of the number 5. You must immediately name (to yourself) 5 good positive things. Count them off on your fingers. They may be simple things- the weather is nice, the bird you saw was pretty, you like the taste of butter pecan ice cream, you have (or had) a teacher you really liked- you get the idea. By the time you have finished naming 5 positive things, you will have stopped thinking about the negative thing. As long as you wear your "Five" necklace, you will be thinking 5 to 1 good to bad. Give it a try.

PS. The answer is within you

Not necessarily. While diamonds are the hardest known natural material and can scratch glass, there are other crystals like corundum (sapphires and rubies) and silicon carbide (moissanite) that can also scratch glass but are not diamonds. Additional tests are needed to confirm if a crystal is indeed a diamond.

Both ways: can be cut by laser or sawn. Laser cut is more accurate and precise.

Diamonds are cut according to a plan that is designed to preserve the best qualities of the raw stone, usually it's colour and clarity. The planned cut, then maximizes the highest carat weight for the raw stone. Typically, more than 50% of the raw stone is lost in this process: removed as 'waste'.

No, karat (or carat) as a purity measurement is divided by 24.
