This huge doubly-terminated gem topaz crystal weighs in at a whopping 912 grams! It is glassy through and through, and complete all around. The faces are sharp and regular, and the crystal shows very good symmetry and its best faces from one side in particular, so there is a really good display side for show. Your first glance at this beast, it looks pretty good and nearly undamaged.
