[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 418099, member: 3008"] After reading the thread regarding olivine [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=26575[/url] I started to wonder weather the peridot I had cut was glass sold as peridot rough because it's a very greenstone without a tinge. (although I was fairly sure from memory the rough contained 'Lilly pads'). I wasn't going to do a scratch test. Anyway I came across the vid. Pretty cool and my peridot is probably peridot. [video=480,360][url]https://youtu.be/U9pM04cY7sU[/url][/video] The magnet I used was a lot smaller (pick-up tool) This website gives a lot of info also.
