[QUOTE="SWright, post: 325867, member: 1541"] G'Day All As a geologist I can fully support the well thought out post from SneakyCuttlefish. I would go a little further and suggest that where there are areas of strongly metamorphosed dolomite and or limestone you can get a whole range of common gem minerals including garnets, epidote etc as well as rubies and other less common gemstones. Metamorphic dolomite is not at all common in Australia and even where it thought to occur the thoeries of its formation are often open to conjecture. Araluen [/QUOTE]
