A gem quality, gorgeous, sharp topaz crystal from the famous old Mexico locality once simply referred to as "Mexquitic" among collectors. This is doubly-terminated! It is properly a miniature, but could be squeezed diagonally into a TN box if you try, to make it a very, very large thumbnail specimen. Rare on the market today, and an exceptional piece. From the award-winning thumbnail collection of Sharon and William Panczner, author of the book Minerals Of Mexico, and last seen and exhibited in the 1960s
