John Smolski Collection John Smolski has been an obsessive topaz collector both in the field and with a silver pick for over 20 years. He kept his field collected prizes, but we are fortunate that he sold us the rest.

Twin sherry topaz crystals flank a glassy smoky quartz crystal. All this and more smoky quartz is placed on a mound of white cleavelandite blades. The left-most quartz crystal is repaired near the base of the crystal.
