Description

Stunning gemmy helix phantom topaz crystal from the famous locality Volodarsk-Volynskii, Ukraine. 

Excellent crystal of deep blue topaz with amazing helix phantom, the color is natural deep blue, the crystal exhibits aquamarine blue color to dark sky blue pleochrosim when viewed from the front and sides, very hard to show on pictures, but you can always ask and I will provide a video.

Crystal is complete all around, some small damage on the bottom but acceptable due the age, specimen mined in 70s.

Crystal was probably polished in some parts but this is still unusual specimen for the collection due the pleochroism and the color, is very hard to see blur topaz in such size from this locality.
