Gemstone Booklet Appraisal

Topázio Imperial: 30 Anos Commemorative Booklet/Brochure

This item appears to be a commemorative booklet, brochure, or small publication, likely celebrating '30 anos' (30 years) of 'Topázio Imperial' (Imperial Topaz). The physical characteristics suggest it is a softcover publication, possibly in standard A5 or A4 size, though exact dimensions are not discernible from the image. The cover features a light, possibly off-white or cream, background with minimalist design. The title 'Topázio IMPERIAL' is prominently displayed in an elegant, flowing script font, colored in a reddish-brown or burgundy hue. Below this, the text '30 anos' is present in a more conventional, clear sans-serif font, matching the color of the script. The most striking visual element is a photographic array of several raw, unpolished Imperial Topaz crystals positioned towards the bottom half of the cover. These crystals exhibit a range of natural colors characteristic of Imperial Topaz, including golden-yellow, reddish-orange, and varying shades of pinkish-purple, indicating a vibrant and diverse collection of specimens. The crystals appear to be naturally formed, with distinct faces and terminations, highlighting their geological beauty. The condition of the booklet seems good, with no obvious major tears or creases visible on the cover, though there might be some minor handling wear, especially along the edges or corners, which are slightly obscured by the hand holding it. The edges of the cover show a thin black border, possibly indicating a darker backing or spine. The item's clean aesthetic, combined with the focus on natural gemstones, suggests it could be a promotional item, a catalog, or a commemorative piece for an anniversary event related to a mining company, a jewelry brand, or a geological institution specializing in Imperial Topaz. The craftsmanship appears to be a professional print job, with clear imagery and text. The estimated age would be around the time of the 30-year anniversary being celebrated, which is not stated but the contemporary clear photography and font choices suggest late 20th or early 21st century.
