Grandidierite

Grandidierite is in the top 10 rarest gemstones. Its very rare to find a stone that has no inclusions and the colours vary through the blue green scale. Its a interesting stone and its possible to use in jewellery. Heres a screenshot of more information and Ill reread this tomorrow once Im not so tired and see what Ive missed

It does occur in Australia

Mt Stafford, west of Ti Tree WA (E of Yeundumu). I've worked out there, and it is remote to say the least. Mentioned here:

As far as I know its main source is Madagascar and has been found also in Sri Lanka. Nothing has been found in Australia thats been recorded yet
