DESCRIPTION:

Lovely Peachy Pink to Champaign Pakistani Topaz Crystal Faceting rough. These are well formed FLOATER crystals for the most part (Many fully terminated) and are a spectacular site to behold! This material ranges in size from about 1-3 grams with the bulk of the material in the 1.5-2.5 gram range. We estimate that 80%+ of this is High to Top Grade Facet Rough while the remainder is a mix of Cabbing Rough and additional Facet Rough that will need to be sawed and/or cobbed out! This is NOT small material with the average size running 8.5+ CARATS! Floater crystals are a rare find for Pakistani Topaz and these would be AWESOME for various jewelry and/or metaphysical applications or even for Faceting!

A few years ago this material was readily available; however, over the last few years the price has dramatically increased and production is down. We don't have a regular supply of this high caliber material any longer so we would suggest grabbing the lot as quick as you can if you are interested in it!

COOL FACTS:
  1. There is a new treatment out in Pakistan that is turning Katlang Topaz into a lovely Tangerine color that rivals the best Imperial Topaz from Brazil. You can read the GIA write-up HERE. The material is being irradiated and is stable with little or no signs of treatment. I have seen the treated material being sold as natural; however, please note that Pakistan DOES NOT produce natural orange Imperial Topaz and everything that you see come by you of this color from Pakistan should be suspect. It is only the Katlang material that is treating to this orange color and not the Gilgit/Skardu material.

  2. Katlang Topaz is being irradiated ON MATRIX. This will give the appearance of being a natural occurrence.
