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. -------------------- CP Lifetime Members

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

That one is really cool; do you have a coin or something to give a sense of size?

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

Very nice; is this one you'll keep, or try and sell it? That's a tough one... not sure yet but I will probably end up selling it. -------------------- CP Lifetime Members
