A classical style for the locale, featuring a FLOATER crystal of gem topaz included partially by the rhyolite matrix (the trick is to get one with GEMMY tips). Note the accenting pseudomorphs of bixbyite after garnet. This complete, absolutely gorgeous crystal is perfect...a fat gem perched on a natural display pedestal. These crystals Charlie had put away back in the 1960s after a good trade with dealer A.L. McGuiness GLOW with color and are, for combination of color and clarity, the finest I have seen for sale. DOUBLY TERMINATED FLOATER, complete all around!
