Yesterday I finished polishing a batch of Ukrainian topazes. I am pleased with the result.

Maybe pre-drill them, then they could be strung as necklaces.

Looks a lot like glass to me. Either way, it has a nice polish.

It is nice that you appreciated the polish, but the photo shows a regular Ukrainian topaz, and not the best color (with a few exceptions). Although the color rendering is a little incorrect, but I did not set the goal of achieving a complete match. Photo of topazes of the best color on the hand. But the color rendering is not very good.

Those are quite beautiful Yuri! The polished ones came out very nice. I have to admit that I like the unpolished ones the most though. I can see having the three unpolished specimens in your first picture, surrounded by the polished rocks. That would make a neat photo.
