[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 141582, member: 2976"] Yeah, the quartz gravel isn't everywhere - I dug some definate virgin ground last time, only to find after busting my bum digging down a metre that there was no gravel layer in that spot. Actually, it's a bit of a shame that most of the crystals at Lowmead are pretty badly cracked. There is a decent range of colours ranging from the very palest tint of purple, through a nice pinkish-purple, the deeper royal purple and even a dark - but perfectly clear - smokey purple. I've found smokey, I've found bright orange citrine, I've found what you would have to call ametrine and the bloke who is teaching me to facet once cut a piece of very nice coloured smokey citrine a mate of his found there. Just gotta find a good one. But it's always a fun day out there :) Cheers [/QUOTE]
