Item Description

Superb, absolutely adorable and RARE topaz and muscovite combination from Dassu. A fabulous 2.3 cm, water-clear gem beautiful light champagne-colored topaz crystal with a classic beveled pinacoidal termination is elegantly set on the edge of dramatically pearlescent golden octahedral muscovite plates. Dassu is the source of world-class topaz crystals, but topaz and muscovite combinations of this quality are extremely rare. Please note that these crystals can fade to colorless when exposed to sunlight, or possibly any light, so they should be kept out of the light if possible to help retain its color. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. An exceptional competition-level miniature.
