[QUOTE="Martyz, post: 490165, member: 14320"] A bit tricky is a bit of an understatement Lonewolf. :) Between the contributions from everyone on the forum to tests for radioactivity (Ekanite possibility) to Qld museum and QUT Laboratory its kept me busy. I could have just forked out for analytical testing straight up but where is the fun in that. ...Yes Im hearing you Dihusky I havent actually exhausted all avenues of enquiry. I may still consult with someone from QUT Central Research Facility but she is not available until next week. Stay tuned, the until someone tells me otherwise moment is probably just around the the corner. We just need to cut a Ziviscarlite Olivine before the unofficial name gets reclassified. :gemstone: Regardless of any outcome this has been a really useful educational experience for me. A bit like the antiques roadshow, the material object may be one thing but the story behind it is what makes it so interesting. Thanks again for everyones input. Marty [/QUOTE]
