[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 650294, member: 11952"] Can vouch for the Museum's ID service, although they have a bit of a backlog at the moment they are working through. I reasonably regularly send in scrappy little things for ID, as they have access to x-ray diffraction analysis if it's something they think might be a bit fancy. Very few mines and occurrences in Victoria have been comprehensively investigated so it's not uncommon that it can turn out to be something new for the region. Some stuff I sent in (over a decade ago now) ended up in myself going back to uni and doing an honors project investigating the mineralogy in more detail, good fun! [/QUOTE]
