[QUOTE="Keen Ken, post: 567475, member: 211"] Great find, it could be of valuable economical significance. This cryptocrystalline quartz variety's colour is due to the presence of nickel. In general, the presence of chrysoprase (green chalcedony) may indicate a nickel deposit at depth. Don't walk away from it. Top quality W.A. chrysoprase was selling at the Lightning Ridge show last year, $1000 per kg for the best stuff. Congratulations Doug! [/QUOTE]
