Here are probably my best two specimens from my 1st but not last trip to Utah.

Enhydros Amethyst with colorless Topaz and Bixbyite in Rhyolite.

Sherry/rose Topaz, druzy Topaz, Bibyite, Pseudobrookite and Hematite in Rhyolite. Also has a couple small zones of unknown UV fluorecence. There were some small pockets of opalized fluorite in the area.

Topaz with a broken Pseudobrookite included in the tip. My Camara doesn't like close ups. Sorry for the poor quality pics.

Very nice; is this one you'll keep, or try and sell it?
