Are Australian sapphires really worth anything?

[QUOTE="user 1769, post: 175180, member: 1769"] Thanks Heatho, yes, it's been talked about ;) I'd love to spend a few days in Nineteen Mile Creek with the detector. There was gold there as well. It's just a long way from home (6 hour drive) and a long way to walk in. Ossie nuggets are rare as hens teeth, they should be worth a bit. A few were found in Adamsfield as well, but not nearly as many or as big as at the Bald Hill / Nineteen Mile Creek area. Yes, I'll get that sapphire cut one of these days. None of them are huge, but they'll make nice stones. They do have a similar colour to Montana sapphire. I reckon Australia produces a lot of bright blue and pale blue stones that get exported as rough and end up in the market as Ceylon stones. Ceylon sapphires would have to be like Kopi Luwak... way more being sold that actual production. [/QUOTE]
