Item Description
A beautiful matched set of pale golden sherry colored Topaz from Pakistan. I'm told that this material can fade to colorless over time, so it's best kept out of direct light it possible. The sharp, lustrous, gemmy orthorhombic crystal has classic textbook form along with stunningly sharp, smooth, lustrous faces and amazingly internal transparency. The partner gem in this rough and cut set is a very good sized, well-cut "Scissors Brilliant" gem with a very pale golden sherry hue and VVS clarity. A really attractive pair that fit well together.
