Item Description

Amazing combination piece of a GEMMY Topaz with a huge GEMMY Smoky Quartz from the well-know locality of Klein Spitzkopje in Namibia. The gem-clear Topaz is actually 9.5 cm long as it penetrates through the Smokies, with 4.8 cm exposed! It is 2.6 cm wide. The gemmy Smoky is 12 cm long and 4.6 cm wide. There are three smaller attached Smokies. Although the Topaz and Smokies are contacted in a few unobtrusive places, this is hands down a killer as you can see form the photos. A major specimen from a famous locality for gem topaz, seldom will you see such a large, water-clear, crystal on matrix like this. And on crystallized matrix, no less! Valued $2500
