A large absolute gem quality glassy perfect crystal of topaz, the backside of the crystal mostly covered with muscovite and quartz. This is naturally crystallized on the base as seen in the video. In super condition. The specimen comes with an antique label dating an original acquisition date of 1908. I think that the specimen is quite a bit older than this date. The specimen comes with a custom acrylic display base.
