Item Description
Sharp, mirror-bright, jet-black, bixbyite crystals to 3 mm are strikingly perched atop knobs of gemmy, colorless, elongated topaz crystals on the rhyolite matrix. There are four topaz knobs with bixbyites on this nifty thumbnail. Older and showy material from the 1960s or 70s from the Jaime Bird Collection.
