An authentic, highly collectible American mineral specimen featuring a bright, saturated raspberry-red Red Beryl (Bixbite) crystal exposed inside a vug of chalk-white rhyolite matrix from Topaz Mountain, Thomas Range, Juab County, Utah.

Red Beryl is globally recognized as one of the rarest gemstone species on Earth—occurring exclusively in manganese-bearing, fluorine-rich topaz rhyolites. Topaz Mountain is the classic historic locality where red beryl was first discovered by Maynard Bixby in 1897.

This piece displays a distinct hexagonal crystal termination with intense ruby-magenta coloration perched in high visual contrast against the porous white rhyolite host rock.

An essential piece for American locality specialists, beryl variety collectors, or systematic thumbnail display cabinets seeking authentic Thomas Range representation. You will receive the exact specimen pictured.
