[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 468948, member: 2976"] Unfortunately, the area doesn't look very promising for gemstones from my understanding [url]https://macrostrat.org/map-raster/#11/-34.1476/-217.8781[/url] It appears to be all sedimentary-type stuff or at least nothing that resembles volcanics. No intrusives such as granite. The area to the west and north-west looks more interesting but it could be quite some distance - the area around Mildura looks to be the wrong geology for gemstones for hundreds of km in all directions, unfortunately. I believe there's been some nice quartz crystal specimens found somewhere out the back of Adelaide, though from memory when we used to visit the in-laws near Whyalla, Mildura to Adelaide is a fair hike.
