Thank you In advance

Thanks guys.I seem to have caught the bug :) .. I went back up there this weekend and thought this time I will go look for different colours and textures, these are a few of what I hauled back, probably more quartz but hey I enjoyed the hunt :)) the second picture Im not sure what they are either but most of them are magnetic ( sorry I havent cleaned them yet )

Hi Shaza1

Some nice examples of rose quartz amongst the white and clear quartz. They are the pink ones. The one in the middle on the second row from the bottom looks like it may have another mineral in it as well called I think from memory Tourmaline. The black parts.
 
Gday Shaza, your last two photo's are salt n pepper ,.... maybe you should take a gold pan out there next time n have a looksy for something heavy in that area !
