[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 405753, member: 4915"] My brother in law is a Geologist for Sydney Water and back in 1996, he was in Oberon doing some work on the dam upgrade. He was onsite early morning after some heavy rain and noticed a glint on the ground, I'm guessing he knew what it was right away and picked it up tossed it in his pocket and didn't look at it until he was back at the motel.......turns out after a quick rinse in the motels sink it was a vivid blue-green sapphire worth $86,000. I don't remember the carat weight but it was a big one, I would imagine he still has it. I'd have to ask him about the details. [/QUOTE]
