Item Description

This is literally the classic form and shape of a Dassu topaz, with a gem crystal perched, standing straight up, nestled in curving blades of cleavelandite! Gene loved these and we have many to sell, so we therefore feature 3 very different examples in this auction, all different and all refined and without repair. This crystal is literally a textbook shape and form, and is 5 cm of champagne-colored gem! It was chosen for the large suite of pegmatite matrix specimens assembled in the Meieran collection over 30 years (to be clear, he was collecting for more than 60 years, but started a huge Pakistani and Afghani suite in the early 1990s as they came out). Complete all around, 360 degrees. While many singles exist, this is a classic matrix piece of superb balance, which probably will sell reasonably.
