Topaz is a well known mineral, occurring in large and beautifully shaped and coloured crystals, though rarely in pink, purple, and deep blue. The remarkable specimen offered here is especially noteworthy due to its uniquely beautiful pure diamond white colour, and its origin, which you will see above. To simply call it ‘rare’ is an understatement of note ! The cut is nothing short of absolute perfection.
It is well known that Nigeria has become a major supplier of rough colored gemstones over the past couple of decades, and this is likely to remain the case well into the foreseeable future.
Gemstone mining in Nigeria has always been haphazard, and largely dominated by very small scale artisanal miners. It is on record that many of the major finds in Nigeria have come from herdsmen simply stumbling upon ‘colorful looking’ stones and have brought them to the nearest towns seeking more information about their finds.
