- Sample Description
- Most of the (OH^-) in topaz is generally replaced by F^-, the maximum fluorine content being 20.7%. Hurlbut, C.S., and C. Klein, 1977, Manual of Mineralogy, 19th Ed. John Wiley and Sons, New York, New York, 353p. Topaz is commonly found as a vapor phase or hydrothermal crystallization product in three principal geologic associations: rhyolites; pegmatites and greisens; and hydrothermal veins. The mineral also occurs as a liquidus phase in ongonites and some rhyolites. Foord, E.L., L. Jackson, J. Taggart, J. Crock, and T.V.V.
