The 'Killiecrankie Diamond' is a form of brilliant white topaz.
It is extremely rare as it is only found around the Killiecrankie Bay area on Flinders Island, Tasmania.
It is not a real diamond, however the name ‘Killiecrankie Diamond’ has been used for many years because of its brilliance & resemblance to diamond.
These gems formed millions of years ago as magma cooled & solidified within the island’s granite-rich landscape. Over time, erosion released the topaz into streams and beaches, where they can be found today.
Topaz (Killiecrankie Diamond) is ranked 8 out of 10 on Moh's scale of hardness meaning that it is very hard & perfect for everyday wear.
All of our faceting is done locally here in Hobart, Tasmania.
