Topaz (GEMMY crystal)

Item Description

An attractive specimen from Dassu featuring a sharp, lustrous, euhedral, well-formed, pale sherry colored Topaz crystal of excellent gem clarity, free of matrix. The top of the crystal has no major damage, but the bottom in contacted where it was separated from the pocket wall. Very showy and fine quality. It's not easy to convey the quality in photos/video, but take my word for it, it's a good piece and very attractive in person. From the collection of Vasco Trancoso, a medical doctor and prominent mineral collector from near Lisbon, Portugal (https://www.mindat.org/user-11954.html). He assembled his mineral collection over the course of 60 years, and built a fine worldwide display collection that we recently purchased.
