    My goodness, Noel, but you are certainly wrong about pink topaz.
    There are absolutely gorgeous pinks, usually with a peachy cast but
    definitely pink--usually going by the name Imperial Topaz and
    costing more than the other variations. How could you have missed
    these in all your time in the biz? 

    Fifty bucks for a pink topaz could be a great deal.
