Item Description
Some of the most beautiful and iconic sherry colored Topaz crystals in the world come from Pakistan. This area has long produced some of the finest Topaz specimens in recent memory from the standpoint of color, size, and gemminess. This large thumbnail / toenail sized specimen is a GEM QUALITY crystal with sharp gorgeous multi-terminated etched "mountain peaks" on the top and bottom of the crystal. The fact that it is nearly WATER CLEAR makes it even more desirable. It displays well from a few angles also. You don't see nearly as many of these pieces from Pakistan on the market as compared to a few years ago. A worthwhile thumbnail gem crystal specimen for any collector. Please note that these crystals can fade to colorless when exposed to sunlight, or possibly any light, so it should be kept out of the light if possible to help retain its color.
