[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 231879, member: 2976"] Makes me wonder about the Labradorite from Springsure, which makes a nice faceted stone, if a little on the soft side. It can be found in it's crystalline form - square and rectangular pieces up to an inch long - in weathered basalt soil. I've also found it in bits of rock which I think are scoria. Scoria is extrusive like basalt? Must have cooled more slowly than usual to allow the formation of decent-sized crystals? Sorry didn't mean to hijack this geode thread :) [/QUOTE]
