This beautiful single Topaz crystal showcases some stunning transparency and appears almost colorless with the slightest hint of blue. The Topaz is twinned, showing a subtle seam running across the center of the exterior and underlined by a cloudy section through the middle of the piece. Overall, this crystal is nicely-formed and complexly-terminated with wide, glassy prismatic faces down the front and back sides. Under shortwave UV light, the specimen shows a mild fluorescent phantom.
