Nice rocks Fellas, nice feel unearthing good looking stones.
Mrs taught me and the kids how to speck(only agate) so one day we are all going out for a trip to the gem fields to see what we can see.

Probably ... The ones I get there are pinkish though. Did find some little zircs in that area too , same colour. Do the uv test , the ones I got did..glow ...

 

[blayke]

sorry bout the dodgy pics....hard to do with a phone....amazing colour though 50.6cts have had a bit ground off though will take more when i get home down to 47.9cts alot clearer now though couple of small surface cracks but they are very smallow....has "growth lines" or "sargent stripes" makes it look like cracks but they arent

 

[Paydirt]

great colour and size. give those poor nails a chance to grow a bit LOL

 

[blayke]

hahaha j chew my nails....bad habits haha

 

[Sodabowski]

Wow what a beauty. I second Paydirt's comment

My adventures at Dittmer today! Hoping still somebody might be able to confirm that red crystally stuff is Spheralite.... This rock was really weird too. Plenty of quartz and silver in it too and galena

 

[kckAUS.]

Great stones everyone. Here's the first sapphire i ever found, 6.6cts but mostly a bomb .. Still the biggest i have found in 3 trips to wellingrove haha. Luckily not the best

 

[Sodabowski]

Not much you could do with it, maybe a cab?

 

[charlie123]

Nice stone either way mate, good find, I say sapphire

 

[Heatho]

Few small Sapphires and Zircons from this weeks adventures.

 

[richo966]

I like the two in the middle what area did they come from mate

 

[Heatho]

You know where Richo, now get up there get yerself a few.

 

[Reeks]

Hey heatho roughly what size are the gems ?
They look great.
Will you get them cut?
Reeko

 

[charlie123]

very nice colors, i like the green, blue, gold triangle one on the right middle

 

[Heatho]

Hey Reeko, roughly about 0.2ct up to about 8ct, the 8ct is the bomby one at the bottom, still lets some light through so may have it cabbed. The Geeny/Blue one near the centre is 3.1ct. Will send these off to Thailand to have cut, probably will be a few rejects in there.

Thanks Charlie, sure is a great colour, rolling it around with a good light gives some really nice flashes of almost an Icy Green to the richest Blue.. Every now and then one that colour will pop up, they are one of my favs.

 

[Wally69]

There is some great clarity in these ones Heath, you must have found 'the spot', keep it up

 

[Heatho]

Was shown a crevice I should try by a friend there and got a few nice ones from it. Lots of cobbles and boulders to shift and a hard wash layer.

 

[kckAUS.]

Awesome colours, what sort of a stone is right for a cab?
All these stones are my bigger and nicer ones, all between 1-4 cts, some bombs but hopefully some cutters

This is the latest sapphire from kookabookra only half a ct but a nice deep blue.
