[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 399176, member: 2964"] HI Mic, Just guessing from one image. Looks like a fragment of ruby, I have found some that look the same colour at Tumbarumba. This assumes that the mineral is hard like corundum. run it over a rough tile and try scratch it with a pin. If no result it is possibly ruby. (it does not seem to be a colour found in zircons and it would be not impossible, but uncommon to be a pink sapphire) RDD [/QUOTE]
