Item Description
A classic, sherry-colored topaz crystal from a New Find in Pakistan. The blocky crystal is water-clear gem to translucent and has glass-smooth to rippled faces. This crystal is complexly terminated. All of the prism faces are water-clear, like windowpanes. The internal crazing in one end causes the cloudiness. Contacting is noted on the base and on part of oneside. Over a half of the crystal is excellent 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. 101 grams. MUCH,MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
