[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 212456, member: 2976"] Nice looking stone. I think sapphires can be found in a great many locations but in only a tiny handful of them are they of sufficient size and quantity to be worth mining. Sapphires were found when they built the wall of the Callide dam near Biloela, about an hour's drive from Gladstone. They were also found in the river a half a k down the road from my home. The volcanics of the Boyne valley would have to have been the source but are they there in sufficent quantity to be worth digging for anywhere up there? If anyone knows they haven't told me and probably wont :) [/QUOTE]
