    hi all,

    I found this Galena silver lead ore with the most amazing um, cleavage. :cool: and, I have only seen it like this in Missouris and Bulgaria and just got onto some here and anyway, thought you might like to see it. We get the majority of the worlds silver out of this mineral so its sort of interesting if your into silver, and, this is some of the nicest ive seen, here in Tassie.

    We have a lot of old Silver / Gold workings in my district that are at the North Eastern end of the West Coast Range.

    i added another photo too, to show its massive form, the green crystal with it is Beryllium, Emerald. the old miners just left it because they wanted Molybdenite and or silver or tin etc. The Beryllium is used in Aerospace and Nuclear warheads etc now a days. not sure on the price of it yet but its rich in it.
