intense Blue Topaz with Lepidolite

Item Description

A showy, gemmy and lustrous topaz crystal with magnificent blue color jauntily complimented by a "cap" of pearlescent lepidolite from recent finds at Itinga, Brazil (reworking an old district with modern equipment for missed finds). The very glassy crystal has a textbook chisel termination and is undamaged, save for the contacting at the base. Most are loose, this has some attached matrix which is nive. A classic topaz with great blue color saturation.If this were from the older finds of the late 1960s it would be $5000-6000, mark my words. as is, this REALLY is one of the more intense blues of the new finds I have yet seen, and is valued at $2000-2500
