[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 654685, member: 147"] Thanks Sam...interesting info about the Killiecrankie diamonds mate as they are not "small quartz bits". They are in fact Topaz that was formed some 370 million years ago, and are extremely sought after by the Lapidary community. They are referred to as diamonds as when cut into a "Brilliant cut" they very much look like diamonds with their extremely bright lustre.. I doubt that they would have put them back but instead made a good profit selling them to the tourists. ;) Good luck on the next adventure mate. [/QUOTE]
