Hi All
My mate just back from a trip out bush and found a nice piece of rock. Having only a quick photo and some description details from him. I did some research it appears that gem quality Topaz was and is found in the area he was near. It is clear, the yellow is more surface oxide.
What I am curious is what or how is the best process to get it cut into something? Interested in your thoughts and what I can do to check if Topaz. I am hoping to get over there in the next few days and take some photos and further details.
This is the best show I have at the moment -
Thanks
