That said, some topaz color varieties can fade with prolonged exposure to strong, direct sunlight, so it's best displayed out of intense sun if you want to preserve its color long-term. For energetic cleansing, moonlight, sound, or brief smoke cleansing are all suitable methods for this durable stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is topaz and what is it used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTopaz is a naturally occurring aluminum silicate mineral prized for its clarity and crystal form.
