Tasmania - An island state separated from mainland Australia by 150 miles of rough ocean and home to one of the most delicate minerals in the collecting world - Crocoite. First discovered in Russia in 1766, the Dundas region of western Tasmania soon became the premiere location in the world for these incredibly fragile specimens. Of the numerous mines in the Dundas region, one has recently come back to life more than any other - The Adelaide Mine. Come with us now as we learn about this magnificent island and go underground at the Adelaide Mine to uncover the Red River Find.
