Gemstone: Blue Topaz - 148.80 Cts.
Brazil

Blue Topaz gemstones are prized for their rich blue hue and intense scintillation. This example, weighing nearly 150 carats, is the epitome of one such coveted gemstone. The behemoth exudes a stunning, well-balanced, and highly saturated, very slightly greenish blue London Blue bodycolor. The stone is well-cut and polished into a captivating octagonal shape with step-cut faceting. The enchanting stone is in pristine condition, displaying very good brilliance, only evidencing slight windowing due to its elongated proportions. This Topaz has been acceptably treated to attain the stately hue on display. The large size, color, hardness, and durability make such material extremely desirable.
Measurements: 35.57 x 25.36 x 16.99 mm, 148.80 cts.
