Topaz (GEM quality) (22.27 grams)

Item Description

A superb thumbnail specimen of WATER CLEAR sherry colored Topaz specimen from Pakistan. For a few decades, Dassu has produced some of the finest Topaz specimens from any locality in the world in terms of color, crystal form, quality size and gemminess. This gorgeous specimen is a very sharp, highly lustrous, light golden-sherry colored prismatic crystals of Topaz with 100% TRANSPARENCY. The superbly well-formed faces are smooth, glistening and undamaged. There is a minor bit of roughness at the base, but part of that is actually hydrothermal etching, and not damage. The piece honestly looks better in person than the photos might indicate. You don't see nearly as many of these pieces from Pakistan on the market as compared to several years ago, and a showy piece like this is certainly desirable from this well-known locale in the high mountains of Pakistan. A fantastic gem crystal display specimen for any collector. Please note that these crystals can fade to colorless when exposed to sunlight, so it should be kept out of the light if possible to help retain its color. Valued at $950 in the inventory. Specimen weight = 22.27 grams
