Item Description
A striking topaz and smoky quartz combination from the famous Klein Spitzkopje location...you could not ask for a more aesthetic miniature! The 3.4 cm topaz is absolutely GEM-clear and has a beautiful, sharp, complex termination. These are called "silver" topaz from here. It is beautifully complemented by the water-clear smoky quartz. Some smoky faces are gem-clear, while others are frosted. The smoky also has aquamarine on one side and is included with schorl needles. The topaz is pristine and the smoky has only a trivial termination bruise, which is out of sight on most views. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued highly as a fine miniature and an uncommon combination piece!
