[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 175785, member: 3008"] I haven,t had a great look for the cleavage on that one yet. And I,m no Topaz guru. But on that one, IIRC, near the flaw there are parallel internal cracks. That I took to be the cleavage plane. I shall have another look. But Refractol is good stuff. A bit stinky though. There is also some info about the cleavage plane on gemology online also. I think many find it a bit trickyer on water worn topaz. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
