Golden topazo he pōhaku makamae nani e hoʻopio i ka manaʻo me kona mau ʻōlinolino gula. Akā ua noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe e pili ana i ka geology ma hope o kēia mineral kamahaʻo? Loaʻa ma Brazil, ʻo ka topaz gula he ʻano like ʻole o ka mineral topaz a ʻike ʻia no kona melemele a ʻalani. Ma kēia moʻomanaʻo moʻomanaʻo, e ʻimi mākou i ka ʻikehonua o ka topaz gula a ʻike i kāna mau waiwai kūʻokoʻa a aʻo hana.
ʻO ka mea mua, e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ke kumu o ka topaz gula. Loaʻa ka mineral ma Pasila, ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Minas Gerais. Hoʻohana ʻia ia mai nā pōhaku granitic a me gneissic, a me nā waihona alluvial. Hiki ke loaʻa ka topaz gula ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, e like me Russia, Pakistan, a me ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, akā, uaʻikeʻia nā waihona Brazilian no ka hanaʻana i nā pōhaku kiʻekiʻe loa.
No laila, he aha ke ʻano o ka topaz gula? No ka mea hoʻokahi, he mineral paʻakikī loa ia, e helu ana ma ka 8 ma ka pālākiō Mohs o ka paʻakikī mineral. He kūpono kēia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea nani a me nā mea hoʻonaninani ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka topaz gula ka mea paʻa loa a kūpaʻa i ka ʻoki ʻana a me ka ʻoki ʻana, kahi e hoʻohui ai i kona waiwai ma ke ʻano he pōhaku. Ma waho aʻe o kāna mau waiwai kino, ʻike ʻia ka topaz gula no kona kala ʻokoʻa. ʻO ka melemele a ka ʻalani o ka mineral ke kumu o ka hao a me ka chromium haumia i loko o ka hale aniani.
ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka topaz gula he kaʻina hana paʻakikī e pili ana i nā ʻano kūlana geological. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka mineral i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe a me nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe, e like me nā mea i loaʻa i nā pōhaku granitic a me gneissic. Loaʻa ia i loko o nā waihona aluvial, ʻo ia nā wahi i lawe ʻia a waiho ʻia e ka wai. ʻAʻole maopopo loa nā kūlana kikoʻī e pono ai no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka topaz gula, akā manaʻo ʻia ka hiki ʻana o kekahi mau mineral, e like me quartz a me feldspar, hiki ke hoʻokani i ka hana i kona hoʻokumu ʻana.
Ma ke ʻano o kāna hoʻohana ʻana, hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka topaz gula ma ke ʻano he pōhaku i nā mea nani. Hoʻohana ʻia ia i kekahi manawa i nā mea hoʻonaninani a ma ke ʻano he mea ʻohi. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka waiwai o ka pōhaku topaz gula ma luna o nā ʻano kumu like ʻole, me kona kala, ka māmā, ka ʻoki a me ke kaumaha carat. ʻO nā pōhaku koʻikoʻi topaz gula koʻikoʻi ka poʻe me ka hohonu, ke kala momona a me ka mālamalama maikaʻi loa.
ʻAʻole i manaʻo nui ʻia ka topaz gula no kona ʻano kino a me ka nani, akā paʻa pū kekahi i nā ʻano moʻomeheu like ʻole a me nā hōʻailona. I kekahi mau moʻomeheu, ua manaʻo ʻia he mau mea hoʻōla ka pōhaku makamae a manaʻo ʻia e lawe mai i ka pōmaikaʻi a me ka pōmaikaʻi. Ua pili pū kekahi me aloha a me nā pilina, a ua manaʻo ʻia e lawe mai i ke kaulike a me ka lokahi.
I ka hopena, ʻo ka topaz gula he pōhaku makamae hoihoi a nani me kahi ʻano geology paʻakikī. ʻO kāna mau waiwai kūʻokoʻa a me kāna kaʻina hana, me kona ʻano moʻomeheu a me ka hōʻailona, e lilo ia i mineral kūikawā maoli. He kanaka kālaihonua paha ʻoe, he mea hoihoi i nā mea nani, or ʻO ka mea wale nō e mahalo i ka nani o ke ʻano, ʻo ka topaz gula he mineral i kūpono ke ʻimi.
