the natural cleavage seems a bit random for a gemstone.while angular it appears to be a crystalline quartz variety...crystalline quartz 1.jpg.....when polished you get this...amber ice quartz.jpg....this is typical amber quartz...amber quartz.jpg


note similar fracture patterns.

You have a pretty crystal there, but I do not brlieve it is a topaz. A topaz in crystaling shape is eight sided. Here is a picture of half of one.
