[QUOTE="KarlS, post: 79608, member: 2409"] I have mined opal for couple of years in seventies, so I'm not completely new to prospecting. What puzzle me is total absence of any sapphires there. I'm not talking about 6 carats I'm talking about smallest chip visible with magnifying glass. If it was only me well, but other four guys dug there and found nothing. I don't consider those two trips wasted as I scouted around for other possible spots. There supposed to be porphyry dyke and the sapphires should be in the drift around the dyke. It may be bit futher downstream. Karl [/QUOTE]
