[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 663173, member: 4386"] They entirely turn up in soil on ground on granite (only) which is much of the Strathbogies. Farmers turn them up plowing - I have seen some nicely terminated black crystals 30 cm in diameter and much longer (up to a metre long). Up to 30 cm long from the Black Range (the one near Healesville) - I collected tourmalines to football size in that area as a teenager. Some large crystals were mined for frequency modulation during WW2 in granite west of Inglewood (e.g. White Swan at Mt Kooyoora, now a restricted park. However prospecting is permitted in a 200m x 200 m area around the White Swan mine. [ATTACH type="full"]7811[/ATTACH] Crystals to 15 kg were recorded from north of the Woolshed (Beechworth). Mooralla west of the Grampians is another good locality: [URL unfurl="true"]https://crocoite.com/index.php/2018/03/mooralla-victoria/[/URL] . [/QUOTE]
