The topazolite crystals are sharply formed, highly lustrous, and display excellent transparency, reaching gem quality, which is especially prized among collectors. The matrix is composed of radiating hedenbergite crystals that create a striking contrast with the vivid, glassy topazolite. The specimen is completely damage-free, with well-isolated crystals evenly distributed across the surface, making it visually balanced and highly attractive. A superb example of mineralogical beauty from this unique Iranian locality, this piece is a fine addition to any high-quality display collection.
