Item Description

What a picturesque and fine quality display piece of these classic Topaz specimens from Erongo. Typically, the Topaz crystals from Erongo are found as single crystals off matrix, and even when they're found on matrix (which is almost always Quartz), you don't see them on richly colored Smoky Quartz crystals like this piece. This attractive miniatures hosts a VERY GEMMY, single prismatic crystal of pale icy blue Topaz measuring 1.2 cm, aesthetically flaring off the side of a pair of fairly dark Smoky Quartz crystals, creating a showy display specimen. The Topaz is undamaged and shows textbook crystal morphology with a wonderful "chisel"-shaped termination. Just a beautiful and quite presentable. If you've always wanted a really nice matrix example of these famous Topaz specimens, don't miss out on this one. From the collection of Jelani Daniel.
