Description

This is a very nice little specimen, mainly from quartz with some feldspar at the side. But there's also a very fine, perfect topaz on top. The crystal is perfect terminated on every side, no contacts or nicks. It shows a light yellow color and very good clearity - I would call it gemmy! Just a beauty...
