Just got back from mason tx in hill country rock hounding and artifact collecting. Think I found at least a few topaz gemstones. Possibly more. any id help would be much appreciated. Spent 3 days digging under boulders and places the heavy minerals would be trapped. seem to be very rare and was a lot of work Was Very difficult to sift through all the quartz in this area. Most of these stones were found in natural slough catching areas near bedrock. any recommendations would be awsome. First time to look look for gemstones in Texas. just need recommendations and do not have a scale to test gravity nor hardness tests on stones. will be going to gemologist soon these are just my suspect topaz. Especially 1-13 pics. pics 1-7 smoky quartz or big topaz? The big stone is what I’m excited about. It’s not glass also. I know what slag glass or glass looks and feels like etc. Very heavy and looks like the Indians might of tried to knap stone etc. quartz will not scratch this stone. 8-13 small stones. Topaz? 14-20 most I suspect quartz or low quality topaz if any on this lot? Ryolite in granite or llanite etc. ?
