[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 68925, member: 157"] G'day TTKooAu, You didn't say which Adelaide Beach you found this from. The photo's you posted look very much like Ilmenite There is a deposit of Ilmenite which is a weakly magnetic titanium-iron oxide mineral which is iron-black or steel-grey located at just off-shore at Lady Bay. You often find it washed up on the southern beaches. You can also find nice cut-able pieces of epidote around the Lady Bay area. Have a chat to members of the Southern Rockhounds Gem club at Christies Beach to get your find identified. [/QUOTE]
