    I have used several quartz crystal specimens for wire wrap jewelry
    that were coated with titanium oxide. This process leaves a rainbow
    coating on all surfaces. I have seen "Mystic Topaz" at gem shows and
    I suspect it is the same process. In fact, the company that furnished
    me the crystal specimens also gave me a faceted stone that was
    coated. The process can be varied to give slightly different color
    configurations. In my opinion, Topaz does not 
    form by nature in this manner.
