[QUOTE="Esnix, post: 569111, member: 19041"] Hi All! I just joined in the hopes of finding out what on earth we have! Hubby stubbed his toe on it at an east coast beach 15-20 years ago and has been lugging it around since. I see people talking about different terms to help identify specimens like hardness and gravity something but I'm a total newb and have no idea what this is about :awful: Its quite hefty, like 9-10kgs at a guess?? We suspect it's some kind of crystal because of the opaque colour seen on the naturally shaven sides (as found). Can anyone point me in the right direction on identifying this bigger?? Been wanting to crack the sucker open for years, but also don't want to do it incorrectly and potentially damage or ruin it :argh: Cheers!
