Item Description
Topaz specimens from this historic German locality are a much sought-after European classic. Five, gem, yellow, topaz crystals are nicely scattered amidst the quartz point forest on the banded gneiss matrix. The beautiful 7 mm central topaz crystal is the highlight of this showy piece. Two of the crystals on the periphery are incomplete. Excellent, old-time material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock and comes with an older Schortmann's labe. An excellent combination specimen from this famous locale. Herb valued this piece at $550, five or more years ago.
