[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 468667, member: 2976"] That piece is really interesting SC - here's hoping that the colour goes more than skin deep! :perfect: I've never been fortunate enough to find any strongly coloured topaz in my fossicking trips while up your way. Found some really nice clean colourless material ans a couple of smaller blues and some very pale gold stuff. Some of the most interesting stuff I saw there was shown to me (think I've told this story before) by another digger at Mount Gibson - they were large 50ct+ - light [i]brown[/i] crystals that you would have said were smoky quartz, except that the well-formed topaz crystal shape was obvious.
