Topaz with Cleavelandite (M151)
The crystal is optical - what you see in the upper thrid are no inclusions - it is the Cleavelandite of the other side of the crystal - still cannot decide which is front- or back-side. The edges are all razor-sharp, the luster is simply fantastic - a better quality doesn´t exist, not in Pakistan, neither at any other locality! And this snake of sparkling, highly lustrous Cleavelandite makes this piece stand out the crowd, For sure you can get similar nice Topaz crystals, but this combination gives this unique character to the piece! Undamaged and in same high quality all around.
