[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 74935, member: 2976"] He finally got rid of one of those yellows a while ago that he's been hanging onto for so long. A mate of his is a jeweller who had a customer ask him for a stone that was a little bit different to set in an engagement ring. One of his yellows had cut just over 5 carat and had green feathers through it - very pretty and a little unusual looking. The customer was very happy with it. A bloke commented to me a little while ago that so many of the stones from the Central QLD field were too dark - there certainly are some overly dark ones but I think he might be unaware of the variety of colours and shades the place produces. Excited to be getting back into this again! We spent a lot of time on the field when I was little, now at the age of 40 after a long absence from fossicking I've pegged my own claims there (paperwork! Unbelievable! Just to be allowed to dig a couple of small holes in a small patch of dirt! :mad: ). Hopefully persistence will pay off!! [/QUOTE]
