RB 39/00001 Observations on beryl mineralization in the Outalpa Old Boolcoomata area.
Beryl in this area is confined to pegmatite; particularly the coarsely zoned types, which are commonly quarried for feldspar. Feldspar quarries have in the past yielded much bi-product beryl, but at present beryl is not being produced owing to...-
