[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 116508, member: 2976"] Cheers Silver and Richard. Ran a few bits through the saw this evening. Two different shades, blue-green and a definate green. Couldn't find any more with maroon or blue but I think there are some buried in the drum there somewhere. Lots of cracks but I think there will be some big enough bits without cracks. I've seen chunks there probably as big as a tissue box but only ever picked up a few smaller bits. [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7556/15224146953_6173a56b2e_c.jpg[/img] While the bit I cabbed might have been leverite, I did it to get an idea of what any un-cracked stuff might look like polished. Maybe the photo doesn't show it but it actually polishes up quite well. No digging necessary, the river has done all the work. Seems to be enough of it lying around up there, I'll keep my eye out for some minimally cracked bits next time I'm up there :) [/QUOTE]
