Description

Rounded topaz crystal from the creeks of Klein Spitzkopie. My understanding is that it comes from a seasonal creek from within this prolific region. Moderate lustre and partly transparent, it does preserve the classic chisel-head shape. The minor iron oxide stain do add color contrast and contribute to the geological signature of the specimen.

Quite special. It came in a 70+ years old specimen lot I did acquire several years ago.
