TOPAZ, Ghundao Hill, Katlang, Mardan District, North West Frontier Province, Pakistan. A very fine, large-sized (1-1/2x1x7/8) crystal of lovely peach-pink color on a marble matrix. To be sure the crystal is terminated at its top but it may well be doubly-terminated too, as a layer of calcite encases its bottom, pinacoidal face. 3-1/2x2-3/4x2-3/4. $1,500.
