An ULTIMATE Brazilian DESIRABLE and RARITY - a MATRIX Ouro Preto imperial topaz!! And this one is on a sharp, euhedral quartz crystal! What a UNIQUE combination. The 1.9 cm, gemmy and lustrous, golden-amber topaz crystal is beautifully set in the side of a glassy and transparent quartz crystal. The quartz crystal is in great shape, with only minor contacting along the base.
