6.23 Carats | Natural Topaz | Hand Carved
A distinctive combination of natural gemstone and lapidary craftsmanship, this 6.23-carat London Blue Topaz has been individually hand carved into an elaborate ornamental design rather than conventionally faceted.
The carving features an intricate floral-inspired pattern, with sweeping curves, recessed channels and sculpted details extending across the face of the gemstone. Its pear-shaped outline provides a natural frame for the design, culminating in a defined point at the base.
The deep London Blue coloration shifts between rich ocean blue, steel blue and brighter blue reflections depending on the lighting and viewing angle. The transparency of the topaz allows light to travel through the carving, emphasizing its depth and giving the raised and recessed areas noticeably different appearances.
At 6.23 carats, this is a substantial carved gemstone suited for a custom pendant, statement jewelry design, display piece or collection of unusual lapidary work.

London Blue Topaz is generally produced through accepted irradiation and heat-treatment processes to develop its characteristic deep blue color; no claim of untreated color is made for this specimen.
Rather than being valued solely by carat weight, this piece combines the beauty of London Blue Topaz with the individuality of hand-carved lapidary work—no two hand-carved stones are precisely identical.
