A DRAMATIC, very glassy, icicle-like, etched aquamarine-colored TOPAZ crystal from a small recent find at Itinga, Brazil. The two, primary faces on this chisel-like crystal are water-clear, while the rest of the crystal is heavily etched on the sides as is typical for the deposit. The bit of attached, pearlescent lepidolite is a nice accent. A really sculptural and weird gem crystal that certainly reflects earth forces.
