[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 442784, member: 2976"] JCU might be your best best for a really definitive answer. If you have close-up photos of the host rock they came from that would be helpful. To me the stones in the pic look like peridot but first-hand examination would be necessary. It would be pretty cool if you have discovered a deposit of gem-quality tourmaline because there isn't much of it known from Australia that I'm aware of. Not here in QLD at least. Probably plenty of prospective geology given the geology of eastern Australia, just not aware of anyone actually having found any. Cheers [/QUOTE]
