[QUOTE="Greglz86, post: 33975, member: 598"] Hey guys and girls Just had my third trip to grabben gullen and we did ok. Im still pretty new to the gemstone side of things and I have some questions. I understand if you dig at the correct gavel layer and your finding spinel your looking in the right place, but will the size of the spinel dictate the the size of the sapphire that you [u]might[/u] find in that spot? I found a dark rock that had a hole in it with some small green gems and a tiny red one on the inside of it. Does this happen often? Should I be cracking open other similar stones to see if anything is inside? When finding the odd flake of gold is this also a indicator for digging in the right spot for sappires at grabben gullen? Im finding Hundreds of the little green ones in my pan after I use the 1-8 sieve. What are they called? Also what are the red, pink and white ones called? Sorry for all the questions and thanks for your time :) Regards Greg [/QUOTE]
