Notes: [dd] "The regular picture was taken by Kevin Downey for the topaz issue of R&M and the surprise was when I accidently found out how fluorescent it was under long wave. Who knew that topaz fluoresces? I only got this result with long wave and also found that some other topazes from all over the world do fluoresce but this one was the strongest response."
