One of the Bertrandite "Tiffany Stone" nodules that is mined at the Brush Beryllium Mine in Juab Co., Utah. The mine is directly west of the Topaz Mt. This photo is a close up of a rock that measures 14" by 8" by 8" and weighs 30 lbs. 2 ounces. Although it does have Bertrandite in it, it is also composed of Fluorite, Opal, and Chalcedony. In recent years the prices on this material has risen dramatically. This stone was purchased by myself in 1994. It has been cut and wet to show true color.
