“Here is "The King" of Topazes in my collection, where they have a privileged place. It consist in a superb gem, pale blue Topaz crystal rising between Quartz crystals, partially covered by micro blades of pearlescent Lepidolite, on Albite matrix. This crystal, one of the rare matrix blue topaz specimens, has textbook form, sharp and lustrous faces and glassy clarity. Perfect all the way around. Not easy to photograph! The item measures cm 12(h)x 11(w)x 10(d); crystal size: cm 6(h)x 4(w)x 3(d). [Marco Tomei collection & photo]”
