Hi all

What sort of cut would you recommend for this topaz. No faults in it. Clear to yellow-ish In colour. Found at Gulgong NSW.
Bell bottom with a four side prism on top. Weight is just over 4gms.
Is double refractive for anyone who thinks this may not be a topaz.

It says triangle to me. I have been meaning to try this one from the vargas book on a topaz.

Topaz with a baron design with lots of pavilion facets seem to work
