Product Description

A colourless Topaz cabochon from Skardu, Pakistan with an iridescent yellow Microlite crystal inclusion.

Microlite is a rare Sodium Calcium Tantalum Oxide mineral with chemical formula Fe2+Ta2O6 and is only rarely found as an inclusion in Topaz.

The cabochon is cut in a way which naturally magnifies the crystal which rests near it base and is visible by eye.
Under magnification (images 4 and 5) the inclusion is revealed to have an orthorhombic di-pyramidal crystal habit and displays bright iridescent colours.
