[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 35872, member: 147"] When i was referring to "Greenstone" Shauno, I was not referring to "Jadeite" which is a silicate of sodium and aluminium. Jadeite has nothing to do with metamorphosed dolerite, basalt, chert, sandstone, shale, tuff etc which make up the greenstone belts in which gold is formed. Metamorphosed greenstone is softer than quartz and would wear quicker in a tumbler. Either way it would be hard to tell from the pics. ;) Cheers Wal. [/QUOTE]
