Item Description
A gem, light champagne, 5.1 cm, topaz crystal with a striking complex termination is the focal point of this impressive large plate from Dassu. This beauty is surrounded by smaller terminated crystals, with only one on the left side having a cleaved corner. An nice bonus is the 4.2 cm gem topaz on the back, having a near colorless, water-clear termination. The matrix is mostly pearlescent, bladed cleavelandite with scattered broken schorls and few albite crystals. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued at $1500-2000.
