[QUOTE="Explorer385, post: 162969, member: 1849"] No photos yet, just asked my dear wife if she would take some for me so as soon as available I will post them. The stones I am finding are not the green or parti colourbond sapphires that I see in the photos above but are more of an olive green, sometimes quite angular with striations. On occasion I have found brighter greens with the type of pitted surface often seen in spinel. These later ones may well be sapphires but the olive ones have me scratching my head. I would have thought green tourmaline. Terry [/QUOTE]
