[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 648089, member: 4728"] How good are your eyes Colb? Saw a programme where a geologist worked through a pile of small crystals from crushed rock separated out the ones she was interested in to test. Necessarily detailed and laborious work to get enough material to test. She did this using a microscope and a one hair brush! I don’t know whether the NSW museum has a mineral identification service but worth asking them (Let us know if you do) and if so could they help. May require your investing some time into separating the grains into reasonable sized samples of the same coloured grains in the manner the geo did. [/QUOTE]
