Item Description
A single, glassy and gemmy, champagne colored topaz crystal, measuring 5 cm in length, sits high on a matrix of white albite. This is a dream specimen - I could not craft it better if I wanted to! The GEM crystal is 4 x 2.5 x 2 cm and perched smartly in the middle of contrasting crystallized matrix that enhances its color and contrasts with the clarity. It sparkles and glows in a case. It is balanced, and complete all around. Really, the pics speak for themselves here. This is EASILY a $4000-5000 specimen on a shelf at any major show. Even then, I see many that I would not buy because they tend to have clunky aesthetics. But THIS ONE, it is superb and stands above most in its size class.
