This specimen features a 4.7 cm doubly-terminated topaz crystal. The larger termination has a somewhat peachy cap while the majority of the crystal is light grey to colorless. Pale blue tourmalines to about 6 mm are also noted; of the three largest, two are terminated. Minor smoky quartz.  About half of the topaz is enshrouded in massive to crystalline albite; it may be possible to remove some of this and expose more of the topaz (but maybe leave the newly exposed topaz surface somewhat dull and pitted). The larger topaz termination is chipped.
