[QUOTE="Willow, post: 677451, member: 25201"] Went up past Briagolong yesterday and found the rock (below). It was about the size of a soccer ball and quite heavy. I broke off a small piece and weigh was approx 4kg and volume about 1.2 liters. The whole rock weighs about 20kq. Showed it to my Vanquish 540 and it lit up like a christmas tree, displaying at least 5 codes. 15,16,17,18,22,32 Rough SG test =3.3. Parts of rock seem metamorphic with heavy intrusions. Drilling with masonry bit caused rock to break down fault lines but could not get through the harder parts Can anyone suggest what it is? Am I about to be rich or does it go in the shed as a worthless curiosity - like the rest of my rock collection! I forgot to mention we found it partially submerged in a creek. We searched but could not find any others. [S]PS- please ignore file re Walhalla - attached in error and I don't know how to delete it[/S] :) [/QUOTE]
