31487: Topaz (naturally etched) - $24 Skardu area, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan Miniature - 4.7 x 4.6 x 3.7 cm 108 grams Fluorescent (SW) Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order Perhaps hard to tell from these
photos, but this is a fairly large, rather light brown
topaz crystal. Natural etching has distorted the
characteristic topaz crystal shape, but its heft (specific
gravity), etch morphology and glassiness give it away.
Opaque to translucent in some spots; gemmy and transparent
in others. Some areas glow bright green white under
shortwave ultraviolet light. No damage. Self standing.
