This is a large and totally clear topaz from a classic Brazilian find. The base is cleaved, and there is one spot of damage on the rear side, otherwise the crystal is in great condition. Note the well-formed growth patterns on the side faces. 491 grams of transparent cutting material! Comes with an old label indicating the specimen was sold for 2100 Schilling in 1962 (That would equal about 150 Euros today).
