[QUOTE="MegsyB007, post: 459462, member: 13534"] That area is mostly known for quartz (clear, smokey, citrine), topaz and tourmaline. Topaz is out with those SG readings (3.4-3.6) and tourmaline (3.02-3.26). I'd say you could possibly have the other three there. The one with the yellow tint could be citrine (2.6-2.7), the big one's a smokey, and the other ones clear quartz (or possibly another citrine. It can be quite pale yellow sometimes). Search citrine in Google images and you'll see it comes in a wide variety of colours. Have you checked out the thread Goldierocks posted about identifying gems and minerals? [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=24758[/url] It might help you with some more tests to positively identify them. Cheers, Megsy [/QUOTE]
