Fake topaz stones: If you are looking for real topaz stones, do not get those with prefixes such as “Golden,” “Brazilian,” “Citrine,” Bahia,” and “Madeira,” as they are just heat-treated citrine stones with the same golden hue of real topaz.

Cut: To accentuate their extended prisms and make them look more pretty, choose elongated-cut topaz stones in oval, pear, cushion, or emerald styles.
