Topaz

Ex. Shields and Frances Flynn
SOLD

Pretty much ANY Japanese specimens of quality are hard to get these days, be they rhodochrosites, stibnites or any of the other quite limited collector-quality specimens that have come from there. This topaz is a sharp, limpid, striated gem crystal, and complete all around! There is minor chatter on the edges of the crystal but it doesn't detract at all from the attractiveness of the topaz. A beautiful, full-sized thumbnail from the Shields Flynn collection!
