[QUOTE="Pawny, post: 226335, member: 4331"] Hey guys been an active member here for a while. i have my walbanker which i will modify for gems but i am curious what the hell to look for lol. ive never done it before and would be very interested to have a go at this. I was thinking of stopping off at grabben gullen on my way back from tuena one day and having a go out there. as far as sluicing is concerned i know what the go is but what i dont know is what do these stones look like in the sluice? how do i tell the difference between a green rock and a sapphire or a blue rock and a sapphire etc? i mean chances are ive been at Tuena and thrown out thousands of dollars worth of gems and have no ideA? so how to i distinguish the difference between a pretty rock and a precious gem? oh and when sluicing with the walbanker for gems do i run the same flow of water or less as i would for gold etc? cheers Justin [/QUOTE]
