There a boron salt known as borasite, but it's not a gemstone, more of an industrial mineral.\n\nThe gemstone tourmaline is formed from boron as well, but it is one of the few gemstones that Australia is not noted for producing.\n\nOver 90% of the world's opals come from Australia, but I don't know of any varieties of opal that have a name like barrasite.\n\nEmerald is a form of the mineral beryl, and its chemistry is beryllium aluminum silicate.  It is also mined in Australia.\n\nThere is a mining company in Australia called Barra Resources Ltd. and a city called Barra, so it is not outside the realm of possibility that there is indeed a variety of gemstone known as barrasite, I'm just not sure what it is.

The mineral torbernite is often misspelled, people leave off one of the two R's. See the first link:\n\nTorbernite is an ore of uranium. Many uranium mining companies mine torbernite. There are 3 mines in Australia, See the second link. Cameco (US:CCJ) and Healthgate are some of the companies involved.\n\nThere is this website that may be a scam, that mentions "tobernite." See the third link.\n\nThis tobernite investing sounds like a scam to me, but best of luck.

You meant Antinomy, and its Sb. \n\nLooking at the other answers you really have to be careful. \n\nIts strictly Sb - note upper case lower case - not SB. SB would be interpreted as Sulfur Boron, which probably  couldn't exist, except in a much more complex molecule.

Prasiolite is a gem with which one can really be confused. It is traded with variety of names and sometimes mistaken with expensive gems like Green Beryl, Peridot and Tourmaline. The green variety is also named as Vermarine, Lime Citrine or Green Amethyst. Inexpensive, but a true collector's gemstone.\n\nThe name, prasiolite has been derived from the Greek words "Prason" and "Lithos," which mean 'leek,' due to color similarities with vegetables, and 'stone' simultaneously. It is believed that prasiolite facilitates the gap between the physical and spiritual aspects of life. It attracts prosperity through strengthening the mind, emotions and will.\n\nThe color of prasiolite varies from pale yellow green to that with the deeper shades of green. This stone is ideal for everyday wear and it is perfect for a wide variety of applications. It is mined in Brazil and Arizona (USA). The hardness of prasiolite is 7 on Mohs scale.

Ruby is the mineral Corundum  ( Aluminum oxide) \n\nGarnet is a Silicate ( Silicon oxide) SiO4\n\nSapphires are all colors but RED. Red Corundum is called Ruby.\nPink is sometimes called pink sapphire or pink ruby.\n\nGarnets come in all color but blue. But blue can be made.\n\nTo me the Garnet is a brighter red and more crystalline; but there are many beautiful orange and green garnets.
