Description
Red Beryl (also sometimes called Bixbite) with Bixbyite ? Location: Thomas Range, Juab Co., Utah. (see photo for more details). Here we have a tabular red beryl crystal on a matrix of rhyolite from our red beryl claims in the Thomas Range in Utah (owned and operated by us (topazminer)! This is a nice specimen of the tabular variety of red beryl. The crystal is well-formed and sharp and has a nice raspberry red color and a glassy luster. The beryl is a good raspberry red color, which, by the way, is different from the normal dark red color that usually characterizes the red beryl from the Thomas Range.
