[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 430268, member: 2976"] Yep, I can see those fractures that so many of them are riddled with :( A member of the club brought in one he'd found out there. It was in it's crystal shape.....and weighed over a [b]kilo!!![/b] :o :o :o It wasn't gem quality of course. There were some transparent patches in it but you'd never cut it up, it was an awesome specimen. Another club member found one at Mud Tank that weighed just on 100 carats and was a beautiful sort of peachy colour. She said it was never going to be faceted - which I think might turn out to be a good idea. Such a shame for a spot to produce so many beautifully coloured stones but so few of them that are faceting grade. [/QUOTE]
