Item Description
A stunning, 2.7 cm, limpid, complexly terminated, champagne-colored, topaz crystal is aesthetically set on a hillock plate of pearlescent, snow-white cleavelandite blades. Lustrous schorl crystals with matte terminations and a single sceptered quartz crystal are super accents. Pristine, except for the clean repair at the base of the topaz which is very hard to spot unless you know to look for it. This dramatic and outstanding combination piece would be $4000-5000, if perfect. Valued at $1500-1750. Ex Al Ordway Collection, and purchased in 1997 by him. A cadillac at a discount price, for visual effect, this is just an aesthetically fine specimen
