Topaz is a mineral obtained from topaz ore.

Obtaining

Mining

Topaz can be obtained by mining a topaz ore. Mining the ore with an unenchanted stone pickaxe or above gives the player 1-2 topaz, as well as some XP points. If the ore is mined with a pickaxe enchanted with the fortune enchantment, it will make the drop give more topaz.

Natural generation

Topaz can be found in loot chests of dungeons, ruins and skyholds, with a 21.8% possibility of topaz appearing in stack of 1-5.

Crafting

The block of topaz can be crafted back into nine topaz.

Usage

Nine bits of topaz can be crafted into a block of topaz. This is a more compact way of storing topaz, as one block contains nine topaz and still takes up the same amount of space.
