[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 82746, member: 2976"] Cheers Cormorant. I'm always keeping all fingers and toes crossed for that retirement stone :) Been shown a couple out there but never found one myself. When we were at Russian gully, a couple of Europeans up the hill - there were lots of Italians, Hungarians, Romanians etc out there in those days - found a huge green stone they called "The Easter Egg" because they found it on Easter Sunday. No idea what happened to it, the people involved are all dead now. I was shown a stunner a while back which has made the rounds out there as the "Dam Lucky Stone". 107 carat yellow/green with a remarkable colour change to pink in artificial light. He asked if I had a spare $150 000 - needless to say it was out of my price range :) This is my very poor photo of it - there's a [b]much[/b] better photo taken by someone else showing the colour transition as it turns in the light.
