A terminated, light brown topaz specimen from the desirable Katlang locality.  It may look a bit pinkish in the photographs, but this is not the case!  I don't know how that happened, but it is light brown.

This piece was in my first collection (from back when I was about 10.)  A few years ago I rediscovered it, and by trimming and exposing more of the crystal, it was transformed into what you see in the photographs.
