Lot 681
Massive Topaz Crystal from Burma. Mogok Valley, Burma, Southern Asia
This interesting specimen, a large (6 x 10.5 x 6.5 cm) and heavy topaz crystal formed with a white feldspar matrix, is pristine with sharply defined edges and faces. It is well formed with a complex, multi-faced termination. The contrast between the large broad faces of the topaz and the highly-textured feldspar is a delight to the eye.
Extraordinary topaz specimens are found in Pantaw, in the Mogok Valley of Mandalay. These crystals from the mines in Mogok have excellent crystal clarity and high-class gem quality.
Measures 10 x 11 x 13 cm.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.
A Bill Larson, Pala International mineral.
