Imperial Topaz

Item Description

A fine, gemmy single crystal of light orange colored Imperial Topaz with a typical steep termination. It is clearly orange not, and by no means "brownish", and actually has a bit of a pinkish overtone that doesn't show up in the photos, but you can see it well in sunlight. All the faces are lustrous without any kind of coating. A few minors nicks keeps it from being 100% perfect, but it's still a great thumbnail from this world famous locality that has produced some of the most incredible color Topaz crystals in the world. The crystal would make a fine match for a faceted stone to create a lovely "rough and cut" set.
