[QUOTE="boobook, post: 506320, member: 1605"] Yeah snafu, I reckon your naming is correct.....I just wrote what my memory thought it was :) But the colour is well remembered, like the sun just as it drops on the horizon. I still have half a kilo or so of good parti stones, always reckoned they would end up good value with everything becoming synthetic. In the day saw some whopper parti stones come out of Washpool. Met a Kiwi fellow who sniffed out skinny little gutters, knelt on a hessian bag and slowly scraped them out. One day as he was knocking off he showed me an oval parti you could read the newspaper through. About 120ct. it was fairly flat so would have to be cut into several stones. All this was after the Anakie Marauder had scraped the area.....some real money went came of there :cool: [/QUOTE]
