[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 171845, member: 3111"] Thanks heaps for the reply Wal. Don't know if you know Gembrook at all but its had small finds of gold, sapphire and topaz mostly. The sapphire is said to be small and broken of mixed color. The creek(s) I'm in are at the base of a granite mountain dense in sub tropic forest and steep. I still have to venture upstream. So far I've been looking at broken granite and black sand. Would spinel sit with black sand or is it most likely to pan out with the rock. I am using sieves but usually do a quick pan to see a sample of heavies to start with. Have you got a clear photo of spinel or can I buy a couple? [/QUOTE]
