WORLDS
MOST RARE GEM STONE!
Red
Beryl from the Thomas Range, Utah: Topaz Mountain.
Red Beryl was fist discovered in the the Thomas Mountain range (not the Wah-wah
range) by Maynard
Bixby at the "Maynard Bixby Topaz Mine". Bixby thought it was
Beryl but the color Red was unknown at the time. He sent specimens to a
geochemist in the early 1900's who described it as a new variety of beryl.
It was later named "Bixbite" in honor of Maynard. This name is
rarely used because it is easily confused with Bixbyite (also discovered by
Maynard). These crystals came from "The Red Zone", about 700
feet above the Topaz Mountain cauldera floor where most of the Red Beryl
occurs and another deposit outside the cauldera. The Red Beryl sometimes forms twins and
record keepers and also forms with bixbyite (metallic cubes) and with topaz.
All versions are represented here. Exceptionally gemmy and large, sometimes more opaque, it is always very rare
and very beautiful!
A SMALL WONDERFUL
PACKAGE!
OK, here's the story: These are all of the very best red beryl specimens I
have. They came from the ground by my own hands over 3 years of hard
digging. Trying to raise a 10 year old by myself I find I really need the
money more than the gems so I'm offering the entire collection at a price I
feel is fair considering how rare, valuable, beautiful and hard to dig these
little beauties are, plus that this is truly an excellent collection. I truly would rather not part with them but for the right
price they are
yours. You will rarely see such a collection let alone one that is for sale.
If you are looking for the world most rare and valuable gem, don't miss this
offering. - Skye
