[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 451383, member: 1916"] Looks like a shiny black rock, get some in my sieves at times, they have been tumbled by the river to a high gloss and shine out of the sieve like a sapphire. Could be wrong though. Try a very strong torch on the stone, if you get a bit of glass showing, it could be corundum(sapphire). Edit..... im having a bad morning...... i see you have been able to shine through. :perfect: [/QUOTE]
