Item Description

A beautiful 3.8 cm light sherry colored GEM crystal of Topaz sits on a matrix of white crystallized Albite. There's actually a second sidecar Topaz next to the big one for a nice touch. No real damage to speak of ( can see one tiny nick), and very showy and aesthetic. It's hard to imagine what the mineral market looked like before Pakistan provided collectors with so many fine MATRIX gem crystals like Tourmaline, Aquamarine and Topaz, but they should truly be appreciated for what they are. Priced at $3500 retail.
