This is quite simply one of the most dramatic "topaz crosses" I have ever seen, collected probably in the 1980s or early 90s when this remote claim was worked more actively by a group including a few Dallas investors. The cluster is PERFECT and pristine. It is RAZOR SHARP. The tips and the parts that matter are gemmy although the interior is, as is typical, included with sandy. Note the little bright rosettes of metallic hematite which have replaced the garnet previously there. Just a SUPERIOR miniature that I think will stand the test of time.
