Item Description

A classic, light sherry-colored topaz crystal from a New Find Pakistan. The blocky crystal is water-clear gem with a frosted termination. Technically, this is a doubly terminated crystal, as the base is contacted, but has very little damage, perse. Two prism faces are partially water-clear, like windowpanes. The remaining faces and part of the termination are contacted, with some scattered bruising, but not to excess. This is excellent cutter-quality material. 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. 151 grams. MUCH,MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
