[QUOTE="22shells, post: 315599, member: 3817"] Hi geojade, I'm not an expert and have only been looking at pegmatites for the last couple of months. Mostly all I find is... pegmatite. But then yesterday I found a beryl crystal, so don't give up and just keep looking. My theory is start anywhere, and if you don't find anything there then try somewhere else until you do. Do some research on what has been found in your area in the past so you know what you're looking for. It seems a lot of pegmatite just doesn't have anything in it, but then sometimes it does. A bit like gold in quartz- a lot of quartz just doesn't have gold in it, but sometimes it does. So be prepared to look at lots of pegmatite. Pick, hammer and chisel come in handy. Hoping someone else can give some more useful information! Yesterday's find:[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/3817/1489465765_p3140992.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
