This large thumbnail Topaz crystal from the famous Murzinka Mine (Mursinsk) is a crystallographic delight. Colourless, glassy and bright, it displays textbook crystal faces for Topaz with wonderful symmetry. The base of the crystal is a natural fracture and above this the prism faces and termination are pristine. A small, but superb Topaz crystal from an all-time classic occurrence.

Topaz from Murzinka Mine, Russia
from Murzinka Mine belongs to the old Russian pegmatite tradition: pale blue to colorless crystals, sharply glassy, often displayed on feldspar, albite, or smoky quartz rather than as loose gem rough. The best pieces have an unmistakably 19th-century elegance—cool, transparent topaz rising from pale feldspar or dark smoky quartz, with the restrained color and crisp orthorhombic geometry that made the Urals a classic source long before modern blue topaz treatment flooded the gem market.
