Item Description
A classic, champagne-colored topaz crystal from the recent 2011 find in Pakistan. The blocky crystal is a water-clear gem. Both terminations are frosted on this doubly terminated crystal. The prism faces are water-clear, like windowpanes. Part of one prism face and a lower corner are contacted, but have very little damage, per se. Complete all-around and technically, essentially pristine. The interior angled crazing surfaces actually add much character. This is fine cutter-quality material with rich color. Please note that these crystals can fade to colorless when exposed to sunlight, or possibly any light, so it should be kept out of the light if possible to help retain its color. 162 grams. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
