[QUOTE="Martyz, post: 484807, member: 14320"] Thanks Wally and mbasko. Dihusky has done the testing (except the radioactive Thorium test) and apart from Ekanite, which we can now discount, Dravite may seem to be a new possibility. I did find what appeared to be black Tourmaline crystal in the area. SG is in the ball park and we could double check the hardness test. Google images shows Dravite specimens of similar colour and fracture characteristics. What do you reckon Dihusky?[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/14320/1555723990_f2852922-5dd1-4f88-8c19-1d6bdd786701.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
