Blue topaz is the coveted treasure here. Information about this private fee site is at this website towards the bottom of the page.

According to http://cashandtreasures.wikifoundry.com/page/Texas, "General description: The Llano uplift is a mineral rich area of Texas. The geology is ancient igneous and metamorphic rocks. Texas topaz is the treasure that most prospectors come to find. Although there are numerous places to search, the Sequist Ranch offers camping, RV hookups, and Texas hospitality.

Handy to bring along: 1. Pick and shovel 2. Screen 3. Gloves 4. Rock bag or bucket

Helpful notes to newcomers: Please leave this site better than you found it. Don't mess with Texas; remove trash. In addition to topaz, there is... quartz of different colors."
