Original text on the sign: Topaz - 50,4 kg (111 lb) and 31,8 kg (70 lb) - Minas Gerais, Brazil
These are two of the finest larg topaz crystals. Before arriving here, they where slated to be cut up for use in scientific instruments. What look like bubbles rising inside are imprints of albite crystals that once grew against the back surfaces.

Deutsch: Topas - Ausgestellt im National Museum of Natural History
Originaltext auf dem Schild: Topas - 50,4 kg (111 lb) und 31,8 kg (70 lb) - Minas Gerais, Brasilien
Dies sind zwei der schönsten großen Topaskristalle. Bevor Sie hier ankamen, wurden sie für den Einsatz in wissenschaftlichen Instrumenten plangeschnitten. Was aussieht wie im Inneren aufsteigende Blasen, sind Abdrücke von Albitkristallen, die einst gegen die Rückseiten wuchsen.
Geschenk von Howard G. Freeman und Joseph M. Linsey, 1981
