Topaz (RARE blue crystal for Myanmar)

Item Description

A very hard to find BLUE Topaz crystal from Myanmar. Nearly all of the Topaz crystals you'll see from various localities throughout the country are either colorless or some golden/sherry hue. For reference, I can only find one other blue Topaz from Pan-taw on mindat (https://www.mindat.org/photo-1174406.html). This piece is a beautifully etched, sculptural crystal with a gorgeous icy blue color. The is nearly a complete "floater", but it does have a cleave on the bottom. If you collect gem crystals, worldwide Topaz or minerals from Myanmar, don't miss out on this one, you may not see another anytime soon. Valued at $1,000 in our inventory. From the collection of Bill ("Burma Bill") Larson of Fallbrook, California. Bill is a well-known gem and mineral dealer as well as a miner and collector. Bill traveled the world for decades in search of fine gems and minerals, and was directly involved in the in-person acquisition and importation of superb specimens and stones from Myanmar (Burma).
