[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 75772, member: 2976"] It does look like the rough rubies/pink sapphires I've seen. Sadly, we don't get them up here on the central QLD gemfield - only a handfull have ever been found in over 100 years of sapphire mining. Chromium was obviously all but absent from our volcanoes. I was shown one a while ago by a bloke who has a claim not far from mine - mostly blue but with some ruby on the end. Red bit was too thin to cut a stone from. [/QUOTE]
