DT "Imperial" Topaz (19.08 carats)

Item Description

"Imperial" topaz from Ouro Preto, Brazil is a "Holy Grail" topaz varietal, most collectors look for. This classic, gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, complete all-around, striated crystal has beautiful, golden-orange color and excellent luster and fire. This is an excellent quality larger crystal with a steep termination. The internal crazing adds much character. A fine crystal from the renowned locale. Pristine and doubly terminated. The lower termination is included and contacted, but there is no damage, per se. We found this set-aside lot in the move, and I had bought it years ago in a large deal. I cannot replace them today for prices they go for here. Older material. 16.8 grams. Valued at $500-700. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
