Description

A well-developed uncoloured topaz crystal of good size and perfectly terminated. It is a floater piece, with the contact to the matrix at the base completely crystallized. It is unusually tabular because the prism faces were not developed. The general condition is very good, with some minor chips, but it is not broken.

The old label reds that it is from “Ferros”, and it was acquired in 1983 by Belgian geologist Phillippe Cuvelier. Ex Phillippe Cuvelier specimen.
