This is one of the few remaining spots in Texas where you can still dig for topaz. There's only a relatively small area in Texas where they can even be found (Mason County) and the rest of the privately owned ranches have now stopped allowing people to go and dig for them. We got to spend some time with the owner (Deloris Lindsay) who's family has owned this ranch since the 1800's. She had just recently published her own book of her family and history (which Jacki bought). Very interesting lady! (Who loves to talk! 😳)

We didn't really take many pictures during our full day there. One of the videos above is from us standing in the middle of Comanche Creek digging for topaz (which turned out to be really hard to find!). We think we may have several pieces of topaz but are waiting on a professional evaluation before we get too excited! 🙌
