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-yellow color and excellent luster and fire. This beauty is pristine, with no internal crazing and is facet quality. 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. Older material. 18.76 carats or 3.7 grams. Valued at $300-400. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
