Chisel-shaped clear topaz associated with hematite. My source tells me that this is from "the durangite locality" in the Thomas Range. Should this be added to MinDat or is it under another name? Photo is about 2 mm in length and was enhanced with CombineZM software. Photo and specimen: Steve Stuart.
