"Imperial" Topaz (facet quality)

Item Description

"Imperial" topaz from Ouro Preto, Brazil is a "Holy Grail" topaz varietal, most collectors look for. This classic, gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, complete all-around, striated crystal has beautiful, golden-orange color and excellent luster and fire. This beauty has almost no internal crazing. A highly representative, cutter-grade, crystal from the renowned locale. Essentially pristine, the edge wear near the base is a contact, but has no damage, per se. 37.9 carats or over 7.5 grams. Valued at $500-600. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON! We found this set-aside lot in the move, and I had bought it years ago in a large deal. I cannot replace them today for prices they go for here.
