[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 313134, member: 4386"] Nice chrysoprase beyond much doubt. Do you just want to look for interesting minerals? Could try a bit further south - pegmatites around Greenbushes. If you want to see what pegmatite minerals look like, they have big lumps of lithhium minerals etc lying in the garden of the mine public parking lot (last time I was there). There is even a lookout point over the opencut in the centre of town in a park, where you can look down on the pegatite dykes cutting through the ewwalls of the parking lot. Also tin and tantalum minerals there. I think it is hard for carving Silver - isn't your bottom photo nephrite (NZ "jade"). [/QUOTE]
