TOPAZ & SMOKY QUARTZ ON CLEAVELANDITE

Highly representative and highly sculptural combination specimen of ‘champagne’ topaz mixed with grey smoky quartz and a contrasting base of white albite, a display that is a true staple of Pakistani mineralogy. The rich color of the topaz crystals - all in perfect condition - is perfectly accented by their magnificent clarity and modified pinacoidal terminations. While extracting this specimen must have been difficult enough, it must've been almost just as hard an endeavor to trim and prepare this piece to make it as phenomenally gorgeous as it is. There are a few different angles at which it can be displayed, all with their own unique appeal. Dassu has been producing remarkable quality topaz for many a year now, though this one is from recent finds of the last few years. Large cabinet examples of this quality are uncommon on the market, and represent a sought after opportunity. Comes with a custom, engraved acrylic base.
