This gemmy, sherry-colored Topaz crystal from Sakangyi has perfect form with exceptionally well developed faces and edges, with a complex but translucent interior. The interior hosts a barely perceptible phantom that is clouded with interesting translucent to opaque white inclusions. Geometric growth hillocks on the Topaz crystal faces provide added interest and aesthetics, with geometric ones present on the prism faces and elliptical ones on the pyramid faces. These tiny growth features are actually somewhat iconic for Burma topaz, just rarely seen in the photos out there. Very nice! It has a mass of 84.6 grams.
