Topaz crystal specimens with Bixbyite

Small crystalline specimens of Topaz with minor Bixbyite - very small lustrous black crystals sitting on the Topaz. Bixbyite should not be confused with bixbite - red beryl, which is extremely rare and expensive.

These specimens all come from Topaz Mountain, Thomas Range, Juab County, Utah, USA - which is the type locality for Bixbyite. The Topaz from this area is often intergrown with a pale grey powdery Rhyolite, and these specimens are no exception - so arguably they are Bixbyite on Topaz and Rhyolite.

These are the lower end of the collectors specimens range - some fine specimens can sell for hundreds of pounds, perhaps more.

I have listed a slightly nicer piece as well, and will keep an eye out for some more good specimens.

The pictures you see here are representative of the products and are usually not the exact item you will receive. Where various grades are available we do try to photograph each grade - but some photographs are still on their way!
