[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 421312, member: 2976"] I read a report written in the very earliest days of the field in the late 1800's, a geologist described a parti sapphire that had a patch of definate red in it that would technically be a ruby if the rest of the stone were cut away. But my mate had a machinery lease out there for years and in all that time he found three small pink sapphires. You ever found any garnets there Jeff? We never have , same mate said he found one about the size of a grape - the only one he ever found there. [/QUOTE]
