[QUOTE="SWright, post: 121578, member: 1541"] G'day All I would say that the first one is erythrite which is a cobalt arsenate - rhodonite does not form thin radiating crystals. the second is amethyst. Some one has been to Cloncurry as both those minerals come from the same area and erythrite only comes from there. the third one is a mica and is probably lepidolite the pink lithium bearing mica and the final one is too hard to tell - probably some form of breccia but whether there is something else in it I cannot tell. araluen [/QUOTE]
