Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely incredible, old time example of natural blue topaz from this classic California locale!!! I must start off by saying that this
specimen is WAY better than the pics show!!! This specimen consists of a razor-sharp, glassy crystal of gemmy blue topaz!!!
The crystal is complete all around and in fantastic condition!!!
There is a small amount of cleavlandite in association - there is also a small area on the bottom edge of the crystal where
there was cleavlandite contact - do not mistake this for damage in the pics, in person it is quite clear that this area is entirely
crystalline!!! This specimen is stunning in person with dramatic play of light and lots of razor-sharp, glassy faces!!! The icey
blue color is quite handsome as well!!!
The crystal's termination shows a highly complex network of pointy terminations!!! Aside from two tiny, barely noticeable dings this
specimen is pristine and undamaged!!! This is a KILLER old time California beauty!!! You do not want to miss out on this valuable and classic
gem!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 20th!!!
