A super specimen that is, for my tastes, the best small cab here. The lovely drapery of sparkling lepidolite enhances and contrasts the blue color. This is an oldstyle crystal, but with a more flat then tapered termination like we used to see. It is pristine and undamaged except for one small, teeny nick in the left edge of the term (you don't see it unless you go looking). Otherwise, its complete all around and starkly equant - a standout in this regard among topazes of more diverse forms in this lot. 7.5 x 6.4 x 5.7 cm
