Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Topaz
Locality: Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Southeast Region, Brazil (Locality at mindat.org)
This doubly terminated, deep orange, lustrous and translucent, crystal of Imperial Topaz, is HUGE !!! I can say I have seen only 2-3 others this size. It is heavily crazed or it would have been cut for gem rough material. Yes, the termination is bruised (hard to see) and there is edge damage high up on the left side (sadly, easy to see unless you turn it edge-on).... but crystals rarely get this large and it sorta goes with the territory to have one with such size and visual impact (plus the price is downgraded accordingly). 9.4 x 2.9 x 2 cm (122 grams)
