[QUOTE="rileymcsmiley, post: 140736, member: 2445"] Decided to head up to glen innes for a couple of days to participate in the field trips. Billabong blue and then yarrow creek. Yarrow creek was absolutely hammered and practically no one found anything but billabong blue produced like it has in the past. I was just digging in the pile and noticed a dark rock, turns out to be a 68 carat dogtooth sapphire :D . It's very dark but some light goes through under a bright torch. Minerama itself was quite interesting, lots and lots of tents set up showing and selling crystals of all different kinds (sapphires were a common site of course). So all in all it was a success I guess, quadrupled my biggest sapphire size and got to get into the country. :) [/QUOTE]
