Topaz with Albite (var: Cleavelandite)

Item Description

Here we have a classic golden sherry colored Topaz with Albite from Pakistan. This area has long produced some of the finest Topaz specimens in recent memory from the standpoint of color, size, and gemminess. The crystal on this specimen is undamaged (save the bottom where it detached from the matrix) and it's notably sharp and glassy with a beautiful golden sherry color, but the most important aspect is that is associated with a beautiful "flower"-like group of shimmering white bladed Albite (var: Cleavelandite) aesthetically flaring off the top / back portion. NO REPAIRS, but the Albite is not complete on the back of the piece, although you can't see it from the display side. A great full-sized miniature of this beloved gem material from Pakistan. You don't see nearly as many of these pieces from Pakistan on the market as compared to a few years ago. Please note that these crystals CAN fade when exposed to sunlight, or possibly any light, so it should be kept out of the light if possible to help retain its color. Priced in the inventory at $3,000 for size, quality and overall aesthetics.
