Description
This striking mineral specimen features golden topaz crystals and smoky quartz beautifully perched on a dramatic matrix of bladed feldspar. The topaz displays warm honey-to-champagne tones with crisp crystal faces, while the smoky quartz adds depth and contrast through its translucent smoky hues. Beneath them, the feldspar forms elegant, layered blades that create movement and texture across the piece, giving it exceptional visual balance.
Dimensions & Weight
Collector’s Notes
Combinations of topaz and smoky quartz on feldspar are appreciated for their mineralogical harmony and sculptural presence. The sheer size of the topaz makes this piece a collector’s dream. The sharp feldspar blades elevate this specimen beyond a simple crystal association, making it a refined display piece well suited for advanced collections or curated shelves.
Highlights
Huge golden topaz with excellent color and form
Smoky quartz providing contrast and depth
Dramatic bladed feldspar matrix
Strong aesthetic composition with natural crystal relationships
One-of-a-kind natural specimen
Metaphysical Properties
Golden topaz is often associated with confidence, abundance, and clarity of intention, while smoky quartz is valued for grounding and energetic protection. Together, they are thought to support balanced manifestation—anchoring inspiration into practical action.
Mineralogy
Topaz: Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂
Smoky Quartz: SiO₂ (color from natural irradiation)
Feldspar Group (matrix): Potassium or sodium-rich aluminosilicates
Crystal Systems: Orthorhombic (topaz), Trigonal (quartz), Monoclinic/Triclinic (feldspar varieties)
Mohs Hardness: Topaz 8 | Quartz 7 | Feldspar ~6
