Glass-clear gemminess through and through characterizes this BIG topaz crystal from China! This whopper weighs in at 200 grams, and would cut some huge stones (but of course, we hope you don't cut it up!). It has a pleasing champagne-colored hue to it. The crystal is completely terminated, complete all around, with small spots of albite and some needle-like schorls around the sides. These were found about 6-7 years ago, and really good ones of this quality have not been found since. 8.4 x 3.4 x 2.9cm
