Topaz on Albite with Quartz

Item Description

Two, glassy and gemmy, champagne colored topaz crystals, to 3.3 cm in length, are nicely perched atop a tan colored albite matrix. Subhedral, smoky quartz crystals are also present. These crystals have rich color and are super-gemmy! They stand out dramatically. In person, they do not look as crackly as the photos may show due to camera optics, and one crystal has a diagonal crack in it but it is not broken (it is internal). Overall, an unusual specimen for the display quality and the gemminess, of the crystals, but available at a price surely less than it would cost in the Peshawar market today!
