We managed to purchase a small but excellent lot of Imperial Topaz for this location: almost all of the crystals have an excellent luster, a perfect termination and only a few inclusions. This Topaz has a perfectly formed top and excellent shine, as well. At the bottom of the base, this crystal has a small crystallization defect on one side, but otherwise has faceting quality in parts.

Imperial Topazes were first discovered in Minas Gerais in Brazil and later also in Russia. They got their name because they were popular with the tsars for the crown jewels. While Russian Topazes are pink to purple in color, Imperial Topazes from other countries (Pakistan, USA, Zambia) have a golden yellow, orange to light brown color.
