[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 239222, member: 2976"] Very nice!!! :) On a visit across the ditch, I was surprised to hear that there seems to be very little in the way of gemmy stuff in NZ. This struck me as strange since most things gemmy have igneous origins and NZ is pretty heavily vulcanized. I would have thought there would be plenty of stuff for rockhounds to chase. Can you tell me any more about this 1864hatter? Beautiful cabbing material there anyway. I can imagine that set in a nice pendant or ring. Wouldn't it be nice if among the spot that produces that material, there were some loose rubies and sapphires of facetable size and quality? :) [/QUOTE]
