where does topaz come from
Very good Topaz crystals also come from the Jos Plateau, Plateau State, Nigeria. In Mexico, a famous locality that produces multicolored Topaz with brownish-red tints is Tepetate, San Luis PotosÃ­; along with the Veronica Mine, Copetillo; and Villa Garcia, Zacatecas.
Topaz is found in the gem pegmatites of San Diegeo County, in localities such as the Little Three Mine in Ramona, and the Ware Mine in Oak Grove. Colorless Topaz come from the Pikes Peak area in El Paso Co., Colorado, particularly in Glen Cove, Devils Head, and Crystal Peak. Fine colorless and light blue tabular crystals come from Mason Co., Texas (near Streeter, Katemcy, and Grit).
