Gem stone question!?

Question

are topaz and topez 2 different stones???

Answer 1

HELLO Shekisha - PURPLERO!

AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE IS NOT WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUCH AS "TOPEZ".

TOPAZ IS THE CORRECT SPELLING FOR THE MINERAL AND GEMSTONE THAT IN IT'S PURE, NATURAL STATE IT IS TRANSPARENT AND COLORLESS.

I AM VERY CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR NAME PURPLERO = PURPLE RO?

VERY INTERESTING!  WHY DID YOU CHOOSE IT?  DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?

THANKS! JOHN - SWEDEN

Answer 2

Topaz is a ligitimate name of a mineral.  It is named for Topasos Island in the Red Sea.  The only recognized synonym for Topaz is Pycnite.  I have never heard of Topez and it is not listed as a mineral in the Mineralogy Database.  My guess is that it is just a misspelling of Topaz.
