Found this in my search through the Topaz belt of Central Nigeria, posted a few not-so-professional pictures...hoping I can get opinions on such occurrences and commercial viability.
Thanks in advance.. :)

Colorless topaz is pretty cheap. Nice crystals are of interest to wire wrappers. I don't think that tin is that valuable.
