Red Imperial Topaz, Concave Cut

Very rare color. A GIA certified gem! Depending on source there are mixed opinions on color. Some say it needs to be viewed in incandescent light like the photo on left. Others say sunlight or 5000K light like the one on the right which is taken in sunlight. Any way you look at it, this gem is awesome. Weighing 2.16 ct and measuring 8.25 x 6.96 x 5.11 mm, it is concave cut and eye clean! Provenance: I purchased the rough in a parcel back in 1985. Stinsons COA also included. More imperial topaz xyls in queue to cut. Please inquire.

That original gem now resides in the collection of the Houston Museum of Natural History.
Prices for large gems usually start around $500. Prices are determined by the cut, final size and carat weight. This design shows best when cut in a large, pendant size stone.
