Item Description
A striking and beautiful, CABINET combination specimen from Pakistan, with excellent aesthetics, from the Brent Lockhart Collection. A 4.3 x 2.7 x 2.4 cm, gemmy and lustrous, blocky, champagne-colored, topaz crystal has a frosted, but sharp and pinacoidal termination. It is jauntily angled and strikingly set between two, differently-shaped, glassy, translucent, gray, quartz crystals to 4.4 cm. The elongated matrix of pearlescent, cleavelandite blades is a super compliment to the topaz and quartz. Topaz combination specimens of this very high quality are RARE from Nyet. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $150 for free.
