Item Description

A classic example of the Alpine Topazolites from Val di Susa with their bright yellow-green color, sharp faces and excellent luster and gemminess. The Garnets are small (only about 1 mm each) but really eye-catching. Associated rich blue-green Clinochlore makes for a great touch. From the collection of Paolo Matioli.
