Partially wreathed by snow-white blades of cleavelandite that accentuate the gemminess and sharpness of the termination here, this is a single, glassy and gemmy, champagne-colored topaz crystal measuring 4.4 cm in length. The doubly-terminated crystal is definitely elegant and a standout compared to a crowd of single crystals from this productive location. It is just "different," whereas most are so similar. The tiara of white crystals at the top makes all the difference! One corner has an internal fracture while the other is cracked though appears unrepaired as there is no damage to the cleavelandite.
