Description

Topaz
Virgem da Lapa
Minas Gerais
Brazil

This offering consists of two large intergrowth Topaz crystals. These monstrous crystals are so blue and glassy they resemble a blueberry Popsicle. The crystals display flat angular faces with great terminations and nice luster. The vivid blue coloration on this example is incredible! Near the terminations, the crystals become transparent making this one light up. There is minor damage visible on some of the crystal edges, but, otherwise, this incredible Topaz specimen is in great condition. This is a classic example from a world-famous Brazilian locality.
