Etched "ice" blue Topaz w/ Lepidolite

Item Description

This fantastic specimen is a complete floater, etched nearly all around into a phantasmagorical form that looks just breathtaking in person. One face is glass, water-clear gem and the piece has 360-degree visual impact beyond its size. It looks like etched blue ice. One face is covered with small pearlescent lepidolite crystals. The color is very good for a smaller topaz, as well - not pale at all. The luster and glassiness from all those reflecting points is just amazingly intense in person, and it really sparkles. Valued at $600-800. From the renowned Virgem de Lapa area of Brazil, source of some of the very finest NATURAL blue topaz crystals in the world.
