Topaz Crystal, Etched – on Matrix – Skardu, Pakistan Mineral Specimen

Presenting a highly unique and mineralogically fascinating specimen, weighing a precise 14.84 Grams (equivalent to 74.2 Carats). This fine piece features a beautiful Topaz crystal that displays a remarkable, naturally etched surface texture, securely anchored to its original host rock matrix.

Etching in minerals is a natural process where geological fluids partially dissolve the crystal faces, creating intricate, frosted, or sculptural dissolution patterns. This gives the Topaz a complex, textured surface that is highly valued by crystal habit collectors.

Sourced from the prestigious pegmatite region of Skardu, Pakistan, this specimen is highly collectible for its gem quality, its aesthetic matrix presentation, and its rare etched habit.

This specimen is an ideal cabinet thumbnail/miniature size, measuring 30 x 29 x 17 mm.
