The chemical composition of Topaz is Al2SiO4(F,OH)2 What does that mean?

Chemistry is not my strong suit, but I'm guessing that when different kinds of Topaz are found (different state), some have fluorine, and some have hydroxide. I could be completely wrong, but it makes sense to me. So, the comma could be separating the two forms/states of Topaz.
