Topaz from this small district in Brazil has a unique shape and color. Some of these Imperial Topaz crystals have a "style" to them that, for color and pizzazz, puts them above others. This is one such, with the richest color and sparkle. Truly glassy and gemmy, this 'imperial topaz" crystal exhibits a beautiful orange color. But when a light source at the base of the crystal illuminates it, the termination is electrified by an intense, neon reddish orange glow. The mass is 48 grams. A superb old-timer with the best color and no repairs, this is a significant specimen for any collection. Better in person, so please inquire. Comes with a custom lucite base.
