This crystal is a stunner! It came out of Peter Bancroft's collection (no label) It is very bright and gemmy and has great color. The termination is a thing of beauty for anyone who's seen a lot of imperial topaz crystals, it's pristine and well defined. It has its own lucite base. There is one small chip along one edge below the termination, and slightly longer one lower down on the crystal (seen in third pic). This are minor and easily overlooked for such a bright Topaz.
