A superb and sizeable gem crystal of the prized "imperial" topaz from the locality famous for these golden crystals. This crystal is complete all around and undamaged, with a sharp, perfect termination. It has super luster. The golden/amber color is so intense that in some lights the crystal actually has a pink/red overtone to it. This fine crystal weighs 15 grams.
