Lovely Peachy Pink to Champaign Pakistani Topaz crystal TOP Select Faceting rough. These are well formed crystals (Most fully terminated) and are a spectacular site to behold! This material looks roughly 95%+ Glassy Clean to Eye-clean and ranges in size from about 2-7 grams with the bulk of the material in the 4-5 gram range. This is NOT small material with the average size running roughly 23 CARATS!! All this material is high grade facet rough that can be used for resale as is and/or faceted. This is SELECT Rough with practically every stone capable of cutting an eye-clean or better finished gemstone!

A few years ago this material was readily available; however, over the last few years the price has dramatically increased and production is down. We don't have a regular supply of this high caliber material any longer so we would suggest grabbing the lot as quick as you can if you are interested in it!

1. There is a new treatment out in Pakistan that is turning this material in a lovely Tangerine color that rivals the best Imperial Topaz from Brazil. The material is being irradiated and is stable with little or no signs of treatment. I have seen the treated material being sold as natural; however, please note that Pakistan DOES NOT produce natural orange Topaz and everything that you see come by you of this color from Pakistan should be suspect. From my understanding it is only the Katlang material that is treating to this orange color and not the Gilgit/Skardu material.

2. A very interesting fact that has come by me is that this material is being irradiated ON MATRIX. This will give the appearance of being a natural occurrence so please be aware!

3. I have acquired some treated material that is currently being analyzed by GIA for and I will post results once they become available.
