Thanks very much Lonewolf - that was the thread I was after. Ive posted - Im sure its Beryl - but then again not so sure if you know what I mean. But Beryl is close to Emerald in some way or other. Cheers for the help. Mark  |

I saw a thread with some pics of the green stuff on it a day or two ago and kept meaning to reply that I thought it might be something i'd seen before but couldnt for the life of me remember what. Everyone was saying Emerald - but I thought it looked like "Beryl". Im sure that Beryl is along the Emerald line and it sure looked like a chunk I have bought in the past. Can anyone point me to that thread as I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Beryl it is - tho - Im sure.........ish Mark |

Gemstonefinder - I think it is Beryl.
There are more knowledgable peeps here for certain but I bought some as a present and it looks identical to your pics.
Cheers - can you let us know what it is if you make further enquiries anywhere?
Mark.

Hi Gaetzchamp - well the thing is that its got to be narrowed down to the last bit of grit on the forum when you want to nail a comp. Its not me that dictates that but everyone wants a go at the "RULES" dude. The thing is - that when u post the rules - everyone disobeys them Oh Ill tell you what - thats life for sure |

Nice pics - pics are the best part of the board I reckon. Anyways - I cant join in a competition as its too much to post rocks over the pond - but I thought I'd share these with you all. The history behind it is that my dad planted a tree in my garden (well a bush) but he calls it the butterfly tree. I cant remember the real name of it. Each year it gets cut right back down to about 3 feet high - then it grows again. Lo and behold when it grows and flowers it attracts loads of butterflies - you wouldnt normally see so many - maybe one or two per year - but this tree has at least ten on it at any given time. So here they are - taken yesterday. Its hard to catch them with their wings open - normally when they are getting the nectar they have their wings closed.     I couldnt decide which were the best two so I thought Id post all four as they arent part of the competition. 4.2 megapixel fuji finepix camera with the macro switched on and the flash forced on for all pics even though its sunny. |

LCARS - your images are not showing here for me at the mo - probably just down or something - or another act of god on my PC.
Yeah I reckon a sticky is cool for this Gaetz - and as its pics then the pics section is good for me - if you want to move it to another tho let me or Sands know.
Sands can move it if you want to - no problemo.
I'll sticky it here now though.

Sands - those pics brought back memories for me when a mate from Aussie came back home to Norfolk and spent all day trawling for Amber on the coast. I stuck it in the barrel within a day at 80 i'd ground the lot to dust and there was nothing left!!!!!!!!!! Keep Amber away from the silicon carbide I say - and leave it to the pros Nice piece.

Nice bike - may I recommend the following whilst doing around 90mph on a snakey road. Ace of Spades - Motorhead Bat out of Hell - Meaty L. Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden I did the last today over the hills in my car - not quite the same for sure but with the top down over the hills its good enough for now. Nice bike Earthdog - plenty of envy here. |

Don - I think its upside down - I can see a couple of fins at the top of the pic - and a single dorsal at the bottom of the pic. The fish does appear to be set at an angle whereby it looks like its coming towards me/us at about 10 degrees Although you cant see it in the pic - the scales stand out quite well individually. Its quite a good quality fossil sample. |
