| 37281: Topaz, Tourmaline, Quartz and
Albite - $24 Skardu area, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan Small cabinet - 6.4 x 4.3 x 2.7 cm 75 grams Specimen status: Reserved Send an email with specimen number to order 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.
