[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 17946, member: 378"] That was a lucky turn up! I have a small specie of Rubellite here, of a similar size and look to Paul's piece. Looks almost identical, though I don't have any green Lepidolite crystal structures surrounding the Ruby coloured crystals. It's in a hard whitish-sliver mica looking matrix. Probably from another part of the globe. Cheers Paul. I just did a quick search of the area on Dr.Google and found a heap of Tourmaline specimens from there, so HeadsUp was spot on :) Knowing where a piece roughly originated from can make a world of difference when it comes to identifying from a picture alone. Kindest regards, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
