[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 589091, member: 4386"] People have posted about the quartz crystals on this stretch previously eg "the hill behind rex lookout", so you may be in a good area. And Bushmanrod "All through the hills on the coast line from Barron river North to Quaid rd area out crops of quartz crystals every third creek or valley almost. Black mtn rd good for access. Some of the creek ones are water worn n some that you dig in silica/ clay areas are prime.. Others can be located in pockets even in hard rock.. A lot of black mineralisation in quartzy areas can result in nice stones. Seen them like Coke cans.. I got a lot at mt Gibson over the back at Patricia diggings, some nice phantoms too. Also citrine topaz .." And of course farther inland at Atherton is a well known locality [/QUOTE]
