Blue Topaz and Diamond Necklace – Displayed by the Harvard Mineralogical Collection at the Westward Look Show of the Tucson Rock and Gem Show 2015. This brilliant and glowing gem was shown along with a very large chunk of blue topaz. This natural color is not often found and often jewelry of blue topaz has been enhanced by heat treatment. I shot this image through the glass display case and the necklace was about 10 inches from my lens. Handheld and quick shots are all you get You are trying to be respectful and take turns with all the other viewers at such a show.
