Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4508055 |
Topaz (Gem) 'Pink' On Rhyolite Matrix - Location: Thomas Range, Juab Co., Utah. Miniature (see photo for more details). Here we have an attractive crystal of sherry topaz (will turn pink after extended exposure to sunlight) on a volcanic rhyolite matrix from the Solar Wind bixbyite and pink topaz claim in the Thomas Range in western Utah. The topaz crystal is well-formed, sharp and has a nice sherry color along with a glassy luster. The crystal is gemmy. These crystals are from a speci...fic area where if these crystals are placed in direct sunlight (artificial light has no effect) for a week or so the sherry color fades away revealing the "true" pale rose pink color of the crystals. The color is there from the start, it is just "masked" by the radiation induced sherry color. Trace amounts of manganese (Mn) are responsible for the pink color. The pink color is completely stable! The topaz crystal pictured here have not yet undergone the "color change" to pink and as such shows the "usual" amber color that the topaz have when they are found in previously unexposed cavities.
