Astonishing Beauty: Observing Pakistani Topaz With Triplite Inclusions Under The Microscope
"Topaz is a silicate mineral of aluminium and fluorine and orthorhombic crystal system. Drop-shaped cavities with two or three unmixed liquids are seen in certain topaz (three-phase). Cubic crystals may be found in white topaz from Nigeria, Africa. Mica, spessartine garnet, monazite, quartz, monzonite, limonite, fluorite, albite, and brookite are solid minerals found as inclusions. Rutilated topaz is a trade name for needle-like inclusions of limonite-stained etched dislocation channels or voids in Brazilian topazes. Triplite(Mn,Fe++,Mg,Ca)2(PO4)(F,OH) in topaz is an exceptionally uncommon phosphate mineral with unique inclusions, and the best location is Braldu Valley, Skardu District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
