[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 87123, member: 1582"] Here is what a sapphire might look like surrounded by spinel [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1582/1404457202_blue1.jpg[/img] Here is what a typical day at GG will uncover [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1582/1404457245_photo_32.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1582/1404457260_photo_22.jpg[/img] The larger blue one is 7 carat, but a flat one. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1582/1404457303_photo_13.jpg[/img] So if you can spot the blue one in the first photo, its likely you will have no problem finding a sapphire. Not sure if colour blindness issues for some people make it harder to see but for me it sticks out pretty good. If you are not finding many of the black spinel then its possible you are digging in a baron spot. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
