About Weerianna
Weerianna, on the western edge of Roebourne in the Pilbara, appears in the mineral inventory of the Roebourne district as a chrysoprase locality, with the green stone known locally as dragon stone. The occurrence sits beside the historic Weerianna Gold Mine, one of a cluster of old gold and copper workings around the town. Fossicking in Western Australia requires a Miner's Right, and the ground around Roebourne mixes old mining tenements and pastoral leasehold, so access arrangements need to be confirmed locally.
