Finding Red Beryl, Topaz and Bixbyite at the Searle Canyon Red Beryl Mine at Topaz Mountain

Here's video from a great trip to the Searle Canyon Red Beryl Mine at Topaz Mountain on 4-17-21. We learned a ton from John Holfert and Jeremy Fuller and had an awesome experience! It cost $90/adult for a half day and the kids were free. We lucked out because I was able to book our visit on very short notice by calling the https://gem.tours number at 801-628-3648. That number put me through to Jeremy, and he texted me the meeting location and the links to pay online and complete a liability form. We met at 11:30 a.m. and left the mine around 5:00 p.m.

Here is a link to John and Jeremy's excellent book A Field Guide to Topaz and Associated Minerals of the Thomas Range, which I highly recommend (the ebook is $4.99):

Also, here's the link to the AmericanGemTracker video with Brian Busse where Jeremy found the amazing piece of Red Beryl, with Topaz and Bixbyite on a Pseudomorph Garnet inside the mine:    • AmericanGemTracker - Brian Busse & Jeremy ...

Quick correction... at the end of the video I mention that there are a couple of pieces of red beryl with with black crystals on them that I call Hematite, but it is actually Bixbyite.

Thank you for watching Utah Rockz!
