White Topaz Pricing. As of July 2010, white topaz is priced at $10 per carat for a fair quality stone. A good quality stone is priced between $10 and $30 per carat. A very good quality stone is priced between $30 and $80 per carat. An excellent quality stone is priced at $80 per carat and up.
Probation or Felony issues may also cause a passport application to be denied. If you are on probation, owe more than $1500 in child support payments, are wanted on an arrest warrant, are currently summoned to appear in court, are currently in jail, or have serious felony issues, your passport may be denied.
Rejected out of hand. As far as photos are concerned, it's much less hassle to go along to your local chemist, photo shop, or whoever does passport photos locally, because they know what the Post Office require. I found it hard to believe how picky the Post Office are about passport applications.
