Black Heavies In Pan

[Iceman8888]

Can anyone take a look at the photo I have included of a recent panning session.

Got a few flakes of gold and the usual lead shot, but also I have been getting another small heavy, they are like tiny coal particles, but slightly lighter (still nearly dark grey/black) and have a slight glisten.

Does any of you kind people know what it is? Hope the photo loads ok, if not, Im sure some of you pro's will know what I'm talking about.

Thanks. erfect:

could be black tourmaline

did it come from Reedy Creek in Victoria ?

No was not Reedy Creek. But having done a bit of research and what you have put, I agree I think it is tourmaline, never thought of that before.

Many thanks.
