Brown Topaz Mexican Art Craft, Tucson 2011, by GIA. What color is topaz? Topaz color can range from yellow to pink to even brown. In this video, learn about the facts behind different topaz colors, as Viviana Guerrero and Juan Delgado Fragoso discuss beautiful brown topaz gems in various sizes from Mexico, and how they’re displayed in art craft. One example is an egg with brown topaz gems being helped by carved angels. The other is a paper-mache dragon figure with both faceted brown topaz and rough topaz displayed in its design. Although brown topaz tends to be less valuable, it is often used in striking pieces of jewelry and ornamental art. Other topaz gemstone colors that are abundant in the marketplace are golden or yellow topaz, though they too tend to be less valuable.
