Thomas Range Topaz on Rhyolite Matrix # UT04

Check out this super high quality crystal cluster on a Rhyolite matrix. Comprised of two larger thick crystals, plus a smaller one, this excellent specimen from a recent find exhibits all the desirable deep sherry color. Wonderful terminations throughout. This beauty-of-a-gem toenail specimen, arrives from the famous locale in Utah. Razor sharp facets throughout, with very high clarity, luster, and some very interesting inclusions.

Speaking of famous locales. I was very fortunate to procure several of these awesome specimens last summer of 2010 from my real good friend, and colleague that worked on the recent extensive mining project at Maynard's Claim. These were mined in 2009, and the word is they when they were done, they had to cover up the site, and reseed it according to the terms required by the State of Utah.

It is highly unlikely, due to the high cost of a serious mining venture like this, that such an effort will never be made again...at least not in the foreseeable future! Here is an opportunity for you to add a quality piece to your collection.

I took several pictures 360º to give you an idea of how gorgeous it is. Still, it is that much better in person. Unusual bundle of gemmy crystals for the species. Just a dazzling, gem quality, specimen! This is a real jewel!

Super high quality crystal, with classic sherry color, and wonderful termination on the tip! This gem beauty thumbnail from a famous locale, has razor sharp facets throughout, very high clarity, and some very interesting inclusions within the lower parts where the Rhyolite exists. A real jewel!
