INSANE lot of HUGE CHUNKS of Pakistani Topaz Facet and Carving rough. This lot has a very significant amount of facet rough totaling around 40% of the lot; however, this lot is IDEAL for carvers and we would recommend it as such; however, even the facet rough is very tempting!

It is EXTREMELY rare to come upon a lot of this size with pieces this large as most Topaz from this area tends to be small. We got this for next to nothing and are passing on the savings to all those interested in getting the bargain of the year! We have had several inquiries from Skull Carvers and other Carvers requesting larger stones that are suited for Carving and this is a win win situation for any purchaser!

1. There is a new treatment out in Pakistan that is turning Katlang Topaz 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 material.

2. A very interesting fact that has come by me is that Katlang Topaz 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 being prepared to be sent to GIA for formal analysis and will post results once they become available.
