What kind of stone is this?

Daniel · Apr 7, 2014

I found this at Nundle. One side is rough and foggy but rounded. Then the other side is like it's been broken.

Sorry about the pictures. I don't know how to take ones of objects like these this small any suggestions?

Any info would be good

Cheers.

First see if your camera has "macro" or "super macro" if so use it to get a much closer shot, or use a loupe if you have one and take the photo through that.

Could be a quartz or topaz. Possibly a colorless sapphire. Hardness should give a clue.

A lot of topaz in the river at nundle.

I got a few better photos but can't upload til later on.

It looks a lot different then the quartz pieces/crystallisation I have seen. Also it's quite heavy for its size and feels extremely hard/tight (if that makes sense)

Cheers.

I'd say probably Topaz also.

Thanks guys! Found a few pictures of topaz that look exactly like it. So i'm just gonna assume its a topaz.

Cheers!
