Great Recreational or Adventure Claim.Park County and Topaz Mountain Mining History
Park County has been a prosperous mining area, which has ledto most of the land being patented for private ownership from the state. Miningproperty along the Topaz and Tarryall Mountains has become difficult to obtain becauseof the several large gems and mineral deposits that have been found in the area.Minerals in this area include topaz, quartz, euhedral zircon crystals, microcline,albite, goethite, ferrocolumbite, and biotite.
(Found just over a mile away on the Topaz Mountain Gem Mine)“Topaz occurs in the Tarryall Mts. in miarolitic cavities inpegmatites, in colluvial deposits, and in colluvial/alluvial deposits producedby glacial meltwater (Michalski, 1986). At the Topaz Mountain Gem mine, topazoccurs in 2 types of deposits. First, it forms well rounded \"cutters\"in small seams of deeper gravel that was deposited between large boulders.Second, it occurs in \"pristine\", sharply terminated crystals in poorlysorted granite colluvium. Both types probably originated in the rugged outcropsof 970- to 990-million-year-old potassium rich granite that occur to the eastand northwest of the mine. These outcrops are a part of the Redskin stock, alate intrusive phase of the Pikes Peak batholith. Topaz occurrences areconcentrated along the contact between the Pikes Peak Granite and the Redskinstock” (Muntyan and Muntyan, 1985).

Topaz is a silicate mineral of aluminium and fluorine withthe chemical formula Al2SiO4(F,OH)2. Topaz crystallizes in the orthorhombicsystem, and its crystals are mostly prismatic terminated by pyramidal and otherfaces. Topaz is commonly associated with silicic igneous rocks of the graniteand rhyolite type. It typically crystallizes in granitic pegmatites or in vaporcavities in rhyolite lava flows.
Pure Topaz is colorless and transparent, but is usuallytinted into several colors (yellow, wine red, pale gray, red-orange, blue-brown,green, gold, and the rare pink) by impurities. Many states have adopted Topazas their state gemstone, precious topaz (Orange) in Utah, and mystic topaz(Blue) in Texas.
The most prominent mine in the area, the Topaz Mountain GemMine (where the gems pictured above were found) is located just over a mileaway from this claim. The claim is near a large camping and parking area andprovides ample recreation space.

Here are the answers to the 10 most common questions I get asked,
1. What am I purchasing with this sale? A 100% ownership interest in this mining claim, the exclusive rights to all gold, gems, rare earth, and minerals you find on the claim. Ownership of the land is not included.
2. What is a “Mining Claim”? A mining claim gives the claimant the exclusive rights to minerals on lands owned by the citizens of the United States. Mining claims are tangible assets; they can be bought, sold, traded, leased, gifted, or willed using a quitclaim deed.
3. What is the difference between a “Lode Claim” and a “Placer Claim”? A “Lode Claim” gives the claimant exclusive rights to minerals located in rock or veins; “Placer Claim” gives the claimant exclusive rights to minerals detached from the original location. Or another way to say this would be a “Lode Claim gives you subsurface mineral rights, often there are shafts or tunnels constructed, “Placer Claim” gives you surface or just below the surface mineral rights, often a river bed or stream bed.
4. Do I have to pay a royalty to the Federal Government for the gold or minerals I find? No! A mining claim is considered “Locatable” by the Government. Locatable means you own what you find!
