$48.00
Schneckenstein in Saxony, Germany, is a classic Topaz locality, from the time when topaz was still hard to find. This locality was heavily mined during the 18th centrury. The locality is names after the German word for snail, which the formation resembles, xasically a large rock formation jutting out of the forest floor. Topaz was found her in yellowish crystals, in vugs with smaller Quartz crystals, in a type of greissen rock. In modern times the entire area is being protected as a nature and cultural preserve, and collecting is strictly forofferden. So these types of specimens usually come from older collections. On this specimen there are multiple vugs, and I\'ve counted at least 5 topaz crystals. Most are modest in size, but well formed. A nice historic reference specimen. This specimen is 202 grams, or 7 1/8 oz. The size is 3 inch x 1.8 inch x 2.1 inch. Please be advised, I ship with Ground Advantage.
