[QUOTE="SWright, post: 44818, member: 1541"] Hi Newbie There a few places in Vic to go look for gems and semi-gems. It depends if you want to dig them out of the rocks or go for an alluvial deposit where the work of digging and concentrating has been done for you. The nearest place would likely be up in the Strathbogies, but others down your way would know better. Beechworth-Eldorado is good for alluvial gems. Best bet would be to either go to a prospecting store and get hold of a book on the gemstones of Victoria and posssibly also look at the minerals part of the Department of Primary Industries [url=http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au]www.dpi.vic.gov.au[/url] I think it is.
