Natural Bicolor Topaz from Volodarsk-Volynsky region of Ukraine
The blue and champagne colors are both vivid, which is uncommon in bicolor topaz, where the contrast is often far more muted. The color zoning curves through the crystal in an especially artistic way, giving the piece real creative potential.
There are feathers and a few side-reaching imperfections, but for a cutter, carver, or fantasy cutter, that opens the door to a range of possibilities. The size, bold color, and unusual pattern make this an especially interesting piece in a category that is already very hard to source
