Item Description

An interesting location specimen of the gem species Topaz, featuring a Topaz crystal measuring 3cm tall, hanging off a feldspar cluster - from Argentina! We see so few minerals from the many reported pegmatites of Argentina. Some of these came out in the 1990s and again in the early 2000s. The specimen is complete all around. The Topaz is terminated on top.
