    GIA,FGA,etc. have recognized pink topaz for years and years..many of
    them are mined annually,many are available in estate jewelry..Noel,
    please research the facts first.. 

    coatings are on things like "mystic","autumn",and other proprietary
    names of ionic coatings that are applied to topaz come in a range of
    colours that lend an irridescence to the gem material
    underneath....the coatings are clearly identifiable..naturally the
    real range of colours are equally obvious..
