A fine gem crystal of the prized "Imperial" topaz, with deep, shimmering brandy color, and in this case a slight hint towards reddish - the color is just sensational. It has the internal sparks and shimmers that make these so unique and prized. The crystal is complete and terminated, and weighs 10 grams.
