Item Description

An exceptional thumbnail combination from this well-known locale. A super-sharp and lustrous, 1.2 cm, complex black bixbyite crystal is very aesthetically set on a pair of gem, champagne-colored topaz crystals and a bit of matrix. The piece is notably enhanced by the two strikingly different terminations on the topaz crystals, one pyramidal and the other pinacoidal. Valued at $900. A competition-level thumbnail.
