Overview

The Topaz #1 gemstone claim is a 20.66 acre lode mining claim centered around multiple small outcrops of granite spread West to East across the claim.

​

The claim boasts small topaz pieces of a yellow/orange hue.  Upon survey old workings from the 50's could be found, although the disturbance was relatively small.

​

Topaz can be uncovered easily on the surface rock within fluid channels and gas pockets that let the topaz form over millions of years.  The basic tools needed for extraction to get started would be a rock hammer and chisel.
