[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 477665, member: 1916"] Nice chunk Damo :P :inlove: :P A specific gravity test would be a good way to positively identify it, but you could dip in baby oil and look through to some newsprint, a Zircon will have a double refraction effect on one of its sides, ie. you will see the letters twice, slightly offset. Could be a clear sapphire or topaz, what shape is it in cross section ? [/QUOTE]
