41680: Topaz (naturally etched) - $36 Skardu District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan Miniature - 5.9 x 4.1 x 2.7 cm 110 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order A translucent to transparent topaz
crystal. Two faces are smooth and glassy (better than my
lousy photos suggest) while the top, bottom and back have
suffered natural etching. That this is a topaz crystal is
evident from it's 'heft' (recall topaz has a somewhat high
specific gravity for a gem mineral). Perfect condition; I
do not consider natural etching to be damage. Several self
standing display angles. A great example of an etched gem
specimen, for those of you who like such things (as I do).
