[QUOTE="Una, post: 175077, member: 5743"] I haven't cut any of the rocks today as I had planned... we went out in the boat fishing instead hahahaaaa We did see a lovely 13 or 14ft snapping handbag though Lefty.. I just went out and took a photo of one of the rocks for you AtomRat.. They are just a cluster of the little round bauxite pebbles.. Bauxite is EVERYWHERE here... slippery stuff.. the oversize bauxite that I want to get is the singular balls but on a larger scale, they have more silica in them and are found more to the East of Weipa.. They discard them during processing.. Hopefully I will cut the rocks tomorrow.. I will post a pic when I do..
