Well,
I went out to the Topaz Mtn. area yesterday. It had been about six years since I had been there. At first, I couldn’t find any topaz, not even the sand impregnated ones lying around. Boy, this wasn’t how I remembered it. I met a few people and asked them if they had found anything. Each time they would say this is the first time we’ve been here, we don’t know what were doing. Anyway, I wandered around and first found some chalcedony, a piece of druzy quartz, and some low quality geodes, but no topaz.
With only about three hours left I decided to take a road around the left side of the range and as I drove I thought fewer people would be around, but the further back I went the more people were lined up camping out. It was a little like a circus back there and with all those people looking I imagined they must be finding something. So, I got out again and finally did find some crystals. From the photos you will see a good many are the sandy type and all are colorless, having been exposed to the sun, except for two that retain some of the “sherry” color.
