But yellow in this, generalised case can be stretched a fair bit, so golden-yellow-brown is easily within bounds as long as the focus is at least vaguely towards yellow.

This shows the more common "classic" variations, with the middle one often being the most "expected":

Of course, as already mentioned, topaz in reality is a lot more colourful.


The particular earrings I purchased were left, middle. The lighter the color tended to be the most expensive, all else being equal.

So, not being sure what that meant, I went to Wikipedia to see, it says, "... typical topaz is wine, yellow, pale gray, reddish-orange, or blue brown. It can also be made white, pale green, blue, gold, pink (rare), reddish-yellow or opaque to transparent/translucent."

Here is Wikipedia's photo of topaz.

I guess we'll never know until the author clarifies.

Think the color of the "Imperial Topaz" from your url. And, yes, they do shimmer in the light, Rose. :lol:

Thanks RFC. Just like I said, Oana's eyes are like a kaleidoscope. If I didn't know better, I'd think she was alien. Noone believes her eyes are real. They are not contacts. Her mother has them too. But her older sister Iona doesn't. I'm telling you, they're mesmerizing. They're scheduled to visit this summer. I am looking forward to seeing her eyes reflecting a burning fire.
