ex. Roy Hollowell coll.
These are some of this largest and finest crystals found from this locale.
This specimen contains a large cluster of topazolite crystals measuring up to 1.9 cm.
They have amazing form, clarity, with high luster faces.
They have beautiful golden coloring with a hint of green.
Depending on the lighting they can also look brownish in color.
Near impossible to find specimens these days in the market, especially like this.
One of the finest specimens from this California locale I have ever seen.
