Supply Chain for Topaz

This Topaz was surface-collected in central Finland by Varpu, a Finnish prospector.  The Topaz comes from a dump piles of an old feldspar quarry that closed more than 60 years ago.  The quarry land is privately owned and the prospector paid the landowner a fee to go through the piles. This type of mining has the lowest environmental impact and is the lowest risk for miners.

This woman-owned company is owned by a Finnish prospector.  She runs a small one-man wholesale business.  She mainly prospects in Finland, but occasionally explores other parts of Europe such as Italy.  When I first met her she only had rough stones to sell but she hoped to start polishing in the near future.

I met this source online in 2022.  The pandemic had come to an end and I was focused on meeting suppliers in person.  She had just launched her business and sent an email to me because our ethical standards align.  She surface-collects, rather than digs, so the environmental impact from her mining is almost non-existent.  I told her the sizes and quality I like for my shop and to please show me anything she had that would be a match.

Female Miner Icon ethical crystal standards

Women miners face the same workplace dangers as male miners, but have many additional challenges.  The mining industry has some of the highest rates of sexual harassment as well as one of the largest gender pay gaps.  In many countries there are superstitions that it is “bad luck” for women to work underground.

Nevertheless, women continue to mine.  In some rural areas, mining may even be the most profitable way for women to earn an income to support themselves and their families.  All of our women-mined crystals come from sources that focus on safety and economic empowerment. Learn more

Topaz Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published December 2015  •  Updated August 2024  •  Read Time: 5 minutes
Topaz is a beautiful gemstone with a happy and hopeful energy.  It is found all over the world and is typically colorless, but can be blue, orange or pink.  These colors are most often muted, the naturally vibrant colors being rare.  Heat-treated blue jewels is frequently found in jewelry shops and has a brilliant summer sky color.  Historically it was often confused with other stones, particular Quartz, and amusingly its name even means “to guess.”  Nevertheless, Topaz’s energy is confident and filled with self-love.  It reminds that even if other people don’t believe in us or know our worth, we ultimately get to decide who we are and what we deserve.
