Description

This is material of exceptional rarity - I think the only topaz crystals which ever show such intense pink-purple color was Katlang, but from Sanarka even more rare. I had a few small crystals during years, but only two with such intense saturation. Transparency and translucency are exceptional - there is no backlight involved to photography, this is the natural impression under daylight and all faces are lustrous.
